Celanese Corporation, a global specialty materials and chemical company, will highlight its broad engineered materials product portfolio and solutions at this year’s NPE, “The Plastics Show,” North America’s largest plastics exhibition. The event will be held May 6-10 at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, FL.
Tom Kelly, senior vice president of Engineered Materials at Celanese, expressed enthusiasm about the company’s return to NPE after the show’s six year hiatus. “We are thrilled to reconnect with our customers and discuss our collaborative efforts in crafting a more sustainable future. Our focus at NPE will be on the synergy between human ingenuity and advanced polymers.”
In the South Hall, meeting room S230, Celanese subject matter experts will present a range of new sustainable solutions and materials available to assist customers in addressing two of their most significant challenges: achieving sustainable mobility and reducing the time and cost of developing new products. The four innovation highlights will include:
- Circular Economy: Emphasizing responsible production, Celanese will present its advancements in unique chemistries and specialty materials, including ECO-B (bio content), ECO-R (recycled content) and the expanded ECO-C (carbon capture) products. These solutions underscore the company’s commitment to reducing carbon footprints and fostering a circular economy.
- Advanced Mobility: Celanese will address the latest trends for electric vehicles (EVs) regarding safety, range, charging time and sustainability. Solutions proven to increase battery performance, mitigate thermal propagation, reduce the weight of battery housings and improve thermal management will be on display.
- Better, Healthier Lifestyles: The recently launched NEOLAST™ fiber in partnership with Under Armour will also be featured. This new fiber offers the apparel industry a high performing alternative to elastane, representing a critical first step for the industry to address the challenge of recycling blended fabrics. Additionally, attendees will learn about the company’s broad portfolio of engineered materials that enable smarter, safer and more efficient design and manufacturing of appliances, personal care applications, footwear and medical devices.
- Future Connectivity: Our solutions help connect the world. From stable and high-speed connections for the network of artificial intelligence/machine learning and advanced wireless infrastructure, to consumer electronics requiring lightweight, miniaturization, design freedom and sustainability, to advanced electrical components addressing complex industrial challenges, we will showcase our ideas and differentiated offerings for the next generation of devices, parts and components.
“At Celanese, we are passionate about innovation, and it is at the core of our mission to meet the diverse requirements of global manufacturers,” said Pedro Van Hoecke, vice president of global technology & innovation, Engineered Materials, Celanese. “Our highly experienced team of polymer engineers and application development specialists are located throughout the world, enabling us to meet the rigorous technical demands of both our consumer and industrial clients in every region. Partnering with us gives our clients a competitive edge in launching new products and applications to the market quickly.
