Solutions for Architectural Paints
Celanese will also showcase its EcoVAE® line of vinyl acetate ethylene emulsions for use in ultra-low odor, low VOC (volatile organic compounds) decorative paints.
“Celanese has a long history of assisting paint formulators with the difficult task of lowering VOCs while also reducing the unpleasant odor of interior paints, making a consumer-friendly product. Formulators appreciate that VAE emulsions are the best way to achieve their sales and marketing goals while reaching a high level of technical performance,” said Anna An, Asia commercial director for the Celanese emulsion polymers business.
In addition, Celanese will be showing its VAE emulsions for use in waterproofing coatings, which are also low odor and low VOC.
Solutions for Automotive Paints
Celanese will highlight its Polysolvan® O solvent for use in automotive paints. Because of its very low volatility, Polysolvan O is used chiefly as a paint additive in the form of a highly effective flow agent.
Solutions for Industrial Adhesives
Celanese offers a range of emulsions for use in industrial adhesives for paper packaging and converting as well as for use in woodworking. Celvolit® VAE emulsions are widely used in the paper packaging adhesive space due to their low odor and low residual monomer levels, making them the emulsion of choice for food packaging, tobacco production and cartons. They also offer ease of formulation and good machinability.
Celanese offers a line of EVA polymers for hot melt adhesives offering a wide range of melt index and vinyl acetate content. Under the Ateva® brand name, they are recognized globally for their versatility and quality.
