Celanese Corp has launched the production unit of VAE emulsions at its acetyls facility on Jurong Island in Singapore. "Building a new VAE emulsions unit within the Jurong Island facility allows us to take advantage of existing infrastructure and ensure geographic coverage," noted Mark Murray, vice president and general manager of Celanese's emulsion polymers business.
The capacity of the unit has not been disclosed yet and will begin its production by mid 2016.
