At Fakuma 2024, Celanese introduces new sustainable materials, new Electrically Friendly solutions
Celanese will introduce three new sustainable engineering thermoplastics at this year’s Fakuma trade fair in Friedrichshafen, Germany. While each of these relies on different innovative sources, all three materials feature properties comparable to traditional formulations and support the move to a more circular economy.
Materials being introduced and showcased at Fakuma include:
Hostaform® | Celcon® POM ECO-C: These are the first POM materials known to be made from low-carbon ISCC CFC-certified methanol. This low carbon methanol makes POM ECO-C our lowest product carbon footprint acetal copolymer. All grades are drop-in-place solutions with no product requalification required. They retain the inherent characteristics of POM, such as high stiffness, thermal stability, sliding properties and wear resistance.
Zytel® PA ECO-R: This recently introduced line of PA66 and PA6 resins incorporates PIR (post-industrial recycling) feedstocks at a targeted level. Depending on the product grade and customer specifications, the manufacturing approach consists of either mass balance or controlled blending of PIR content that is at least 30% in final product by weight and demonstrates up to a 32% product carbon footprint (PCF) reduction.
Vectra® / Zenite® LCP ECO-B has up to 75% renewable content, certified via ISCC+ using mass balance, to help manufacturers reduce their carbon footprint and replace fossil with renewable feedstock. This material offers the same high-quality performance and dimensional stability as standard LCPs, supporting customers’ efforts to reduce their environmental impact without compromising quality.
For EV battery component and E/E manufacturers, the company is also introducing new Electrically Friendly grades.
New EF grades include Zytel 80G43EF BK314LM, a stress crack resistant PA66 that offers electrical friendly and also laser marking. Visit our stand in Hall B4 to get the news on these and other new developments.
