Celanese Corp. has begun production at its latest ethylene vinyl acetate (VAE) production unit.
The unit is located at Celanese's manufacturing plant on Jurong Island, Singapore, and will support the growing demand for eco-friendly materials in the Southeast Asian region, including Australia, India and New Zealand.
The proximity of the Singapore location to raw material suppliers offers excellent transport logistics and gives Celanese the opportunity to increase production capacity to supply the high demand for VAE emulsion products in Singapore, as well as across Asia, an area focused on low-emission products and production.
Celanese's VAE technology produces clean, eco-friendly, water-based emulsions. Manufacturers use VAE to produce environmentally friendly products, including paints, architectural coatings and adhesives.
The new unit adds a third facility to the company's VAE investment in Asia and the fourth production unit at this Singapore plant. Celanese's first VAE unit began production at the company's chemical complex in Nanjing, China; and the second unit started producing VAE emulsions in the same singapore complex.
