At Fakuma 2015, Celanese (NYSE: CE), a global technology and specialty materials company, is issuing a challenge to designers, original equipment manufacturers and plastics processing firms: bring us your toughest design challenges and your struggles for cost and weight reduction and our technical experts will show how manufacturing with polymers from the extensive Celanese product line can solve your biggest challenges.
At Fakuma 2015, the 24th international trade fair for plastics processing, Celanese will showcase its innovative polymer solutions from October 13-17 in Friedrichshafen, Germany, for the industrial, automotive, medical, and consumer products segments.
Celanese product and solution highlights being demonstrated at Fakuma in Hall B2, Stand B2-2218 will include:
Hostaform® MetaLX®
Metal-Effect POM – special metallic appearance for consumer products
Hostaform®MetaLX® Acetal Copolymer (POM) is an
all-in-one solution that decreases costs by removing the need for
painted parts because of the molded-in-color metal finish. Painting your
applications as an additional step in your production cycle will be
eliminated if MetaLX® POM is used. MetaLX®POM conserves aesthetics in the long term and improves the
quality and design of the finished part.
Fortron® ICE PPS – speeding up production cycle
times
Fortron® ICE is a new Polyphenylene Sulfide
(PPS) technology with superior crystallization properties. It is
especially suitable for parts with complex shapes or long cooling times,
tight tolerances or for parts requiring improved flatness. For those
parts, Fortron® ICE PPS increases productivity due to shorter
cooling cycles.
CoolPoly® thermally conductive polymers
(TCPs) – conducting heat the cool way
LEDs (light-emitting
diodes) and advanced lighting systems are driving new challenges with
regard to thermal management and electrical conductivity. The Celanese
CoolPoly® D-Series, E-Series and Elastomer grades of
TCPs are excellent solutions for heat dissipation, cost, and weight
reduction in exterior and interior automotive lighting applications.
Hostaform® MT®
SlideX™ POM – low wear, low-friction medical parts
The new
Hostaform® MT® SlideX™ grades of POM were
developed in response to the medical industry’s need for products with
excellent sliding properties (low friction and wear) and low noise for
the development of complex mechanical drug delivery and lancing devices.
Hostaform® MT® SlideX™ POM is a competitive
alternative to various kinds of tribologically modified compounds
combined with the Celanese Medical Technology (MT®) service
package.
Hostaform® XGC POM – a new generation of
glass-reinforced POM
The Hostaform® XGC series of
POM offers an enhanced balance of strength, stiffness, toughness at low
temperatures, improved long-term creep and fatigue resistance for
applications such as gear housings, drive gears, window lifting plates
or sunroof guides. Hostaform® XGC POM utilizes Celanese’s
hybrid backbone technology, providing enhancements in mechanicals versus
existing glass fiber technology and closes the mechanical gap versus
out-of-kind glass fiber reinforced PA- and PBT-based resins.
