Celanese to set up VAE emulsions unit in Southeast Asia

Celanese Corporation, a specialty materials manufacturer, is planning to construct a vinyl acetate ethylene (VAE) emulsions production unit in Southeast Asia. The unit is expected to begin production by mid-2016.
 
“This proposed expansion will support our global and regional growth strategy to expand our reach into the markets of Southeast Asia. Building a VAE plant in Southeast Asia would broaden our network to better serve customers throughout the Asia-Pacific region, primarily in the high-end applications of architectural coatings, building and construction, carpets, and paper industries,” said Mark Murray, Vice President and General Manager of Emulsion Polymers Business, Celanese.
