A few days ago, Ticona Engineering Polymers, a company of Celanese, announced that it will be the latest production facility in Celanese's Nanjing Chemical Industry Complex, a 20,000-ton GUR UHMWPE plant ( UHMW-PE was successfully launched this month.
Ms. Sandra Beach Lin, President of Ticona, stated: “The new GUR UHMW-PE installation is an important part of Ticona's Asia strategy, so we can directly serve the rapidly growing needs of local customers.â€
Ticona is the world's leading manufacturer of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene products. It has established production facilities in Oberhausen, Germany, Bishop, Texas, USA, and Nanjing, China.
The new device will enhance Ticona's overall manufacturing capabilities, enable it to reach the world, and provide a unified brand experience for all customers of the company. Ticona can provide the same quality regardless of customers in Europe, America or Asia. , quality products with the same performance and specifications. With the launch of the Chinese plant, Ticona's three factories will have a total capacity of 90,000 metric tons.
"The new production GUR ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene unit, for the Chinese team, the company itself, in particular, our customers are very important milestone. It is precisely in order to put into operation in response to growing market demand, we Careful planning and excellent design have been done for this purpose, and many elite talents have been deployed, said Wilfried Jobst, regional director of Asia for Ticona.

The new GUR device is part of Ticona’s multi-year investment plan in China and throughout Asia. These investment projects include the provision of technical and commercial resources for the development of customers' applications; and the establishment of world-class monomer, polymer, and compound production facilities. At the same time, Ticona also builds other facilities in China and expands its research and development capabilities, aiming to provide high-performance engineering plastics and modified engineering plastics to customers throughout Asia.
In addition to local production, Ticona sells its registered engineering plastic products directly to customers in China and Asia. These include:
GUR UHMWPE Celstran Long Fiber Reinforced Thermoplastic (LFRT) Vectra Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) Hostaform® Polyoxymethylene (POM) Celanex Thermoplastic Polyester (PBT) Riteflex Thermoplastic Polyester Elastomer (TPC-ET) Vandar Thermoplastic Poly Polyester (PBT) Fortron? Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS).
