Celanese Corp. of Dallas, Texas, USA, will rename its AT Plastics Inc. business Celanese EVA Performance Polymers Inc. as of Aug. 1. The new name emphasizes Celanese’s commitment to producing ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) copolymer and low-density polyethylene resin after its recent investment in its Edmonton, Canada, facility.
“In the past, under the AT Plastics name, we supported our customers with the development of specialized products that have been tailored to their application and manufacturing processes,” says General Manager Michael Stubblefield. “Recently, we embarked on a program of intensive research and development to create new applications for EVA copolymers that utilize the special performance properties of these materials in some exciting end markets, such as the pharma/medical and alternative energy industries. These applications require precision performance, high efficiency and long lifecycle as properties that we can address very effectively with our EVA products.”
