Emulsion Polymer Solutions for Engineered Fabrics
In the fast-paced world of engineered fabric innovation, finding a development partner with the right mix of technology strength, experience and responsiveness can be critical to your success. Celanese is the right partner to help you create new opportunities - opportunities like new product categories or niche applications that require specialized performance.
Foundation and Functionality
Our technology plays two key roles in engineered fabrics – as the primary fiber binding agent in nonwoven fabrics and paper as well as for the creation of high-value functional properties that help distinguish end-use products in the marketplace.
Today we offer the engineered fabrics industry state-of-the-art technology, world-leading product lines, sophisticated technical solutions and a commitment to continually advancing the horizons of performance.
Chemistries from Celanese that build and target performance include:
- Vinyl acetate/ethylene emulsions
- Acrylic emulsions
- Vinyl acrylic emulsions
- PVAc emulsions
- Functional polymers
- Polyvinyl alcohols
Delivering Cutting Edge Functionality to Nonwovens
Softness, strength and durability. Targeted functionality and more. Celanese has the ability to deliver solutions for your next nonwovens project. That ability starts with a comprehensive emulsion product line featuring diverse chemistries that allow us to tailor performance to your requirements. For example, our Dur-O-Set® Elite Ultra line is the gold standard for wet strength in wipes. We have extended the line to include Dur-O-Set® Elite Soft which combines the strength required for dispensability from the canister with the ultimate softness the consumer desires.
Delivering Functionality to Paper Specialties
Our product portfolio and technical expertise allows Celanese to help you create specific functional properties in your end use applications, such as filter media, wallpaper, labels and tapes.
Functionalities that we currently provide include:
- Air permeability
- Oil/grease resistance
- Burst resistance
- Pleatability
- Delaminating resistance
- Stiffness
- Dry strippability
- Tear resistance
- Fiber tie down
- Wash durability
- Fold endurance
- Water repellency
- Ink receptivity
Positioned to Meet International Demand
Celanese is a worldwide leader in polymer technology. We are committed to delivering performance-based solutions for engineered fabrics starting with our R&D Center of Excellence in Bridgewater, NJ. It is here that we are working on the next generation of emulsions to meet manufacturing & consumer needs. Coupled with our international team of technical service specialists, Celanese is ready to deliver new levels of performance for you. Manufacturing plants are strategically positioned across North America and Europe, with a new plant coming on-stream later this year in Nanjing, China.
