Celanese announced the launch of five innovative polymer products at the 2016 International Plastics and Rubber Show (2016 K Show) in Dusseldorf, Germany. These five innovative polymer products are Celapex high-flow PEEK, Celstran high-flow LFT, Fortron flexible PPS, Hostaform M25IE POM, and MetaLX metallic gloss appearance nylon.
"In today's market, designers and engineers are facing unprecedented challenges, and changes in market expectations also bring extraordinary development opportunities," said Todd Elliott, vice president of materials solutions at Celanese. "At Celanese, we tailor our product portfolio to the changing needs of our customers. Due to the extremely broad professional market involved, we are able to take a holistic view and use our expertise from all walks of life to help customers overcome their in-product The formidable challenges in the development process. "
Celanese engineers have broken the usual limitations of design and polymer implementation and changed the functional characteristics of some polymers in the product line. The latest new materials offer engineers the freedom to design and produce high-performance, attractive and practical parts and products tailored to customer needs.
Unique features drive polymer innovation
Celapex high-flow PEEK is a high-flow polymer, which solves the injection molding process problems that PEEK usually has.
Celstran High Flow LFT is one of Celanese's most advanced long fiber thermoplastic materials. This new high-fluidity product helps mold makers and designers develop thinner (1.0-1.5mm wall thickness), lighter, and more efficient parts.
Fortron Flexible PPS-Highly reliable, durable, heat-resistant flexible polymer suitable for today's complex automotive and industrial systems for clips, straps, pipes and cables.
Hostaform M25IE POM-For higher productivity, polymer sheet producers are increasingly using the calendaring process to produce polyformaldehyde (POM) sheets of varying thickness and size to meet market demand. The development of Hostaform M25IE, while maintaining the properties of POM strength, durability, moisture resistance and chemical resistance, and friction properties, also meets the market's stringent performance and processing requirements for POM sheet.
MetaLX Metallic Appearance Nylon-By applying our metallic gloss effect and polymer color matching technology to nylon, Celanese now offers a variety of polymer appearance solutions to meet aesthetic and functional needs.
These five innovative polymers meet the needs of global automotive, medical, consumer, electronics, and industrial manufacturers for complex designs and product upgrades in terms of flexibility, thinness, and aesthetics.
