FLORENCE, KY– Ticona Engineering Polymers plans to break ground on a Vectra liquid crystal polymer (LCP) production facility at the Celanese integrated chemical complex in Nanjing, China, next year. This will be Ticona’s fourth unit within the complex. In addition to manufacturing, it will also provide technical and commercial resources focusing on customer application development.
The plant will produce highly crystalline, thermotropic thermoplastics, delivering precise and stable dimensions, high temperature performance and chemical resistance for very thin-walled applications. The polymer is flame resistant, contains no additives, is halogen-free and permits lead-free soldering–allowing customers an eco-friendly innovation. “The new units, combined with our presence in Europe and North America, will support our customers’ need to shift to non-halogenated materials and give Ticona a global footprint to provide the same brand experience to customers throughout the world,” explains Sandy Beach Lin, president.
