Ticona has declared force majeure on GUR UHMW-PE products, manufactured in Europe due to an outside supplier's inability to supply full rates of its key feedstock-ethylene. The situation will affect all GUR UHMW-PE products manufactured from the Oberhausen, Germany facility through at least the end of October 2006.
Ticona is the largest global supplier with the broadest UHMW-PE portfolio in the industry. Included in this portfolio are GUR Specialty Products which are used to fabricate porous and filtration parts and as additives for paints, coatings or material matrix modifiers.
