Ticona, the engineering polymers business of Celanese Corporation, plans to build a 20,000 metric tpa new GUR® ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMW-PE) facility at the Celanese integrated chemical complex in Nanjing, China. The new plant will increase the company's global GUR UHMW-PE capacity to 90,000 metric tons and is expected to begin commercial operations in H2-2008.
Celanese is currently developing its fully integrated acetyls complex at the Nanjing Industrial Park site, which consists of a 600,000 metric-ton acetic acid facility, a 300,000 metric-ton vinyl acetate monomer plant and a 100,000 metric-ton acetic anhydride unit. The company is also constructing specialty acetyl derivatives units to produce vinyl acetate ethylene emulsions and conventional emulsion polymers.
