- Company Profile:
Celanese Corporation is a Fortune 500 global technology and specialty materials company with its headquarters in Dallas, Texas, United States.
Processes in which additives are applied to change the aesthetic and functional properties of a material. Examples are the application of antioxidants, flame-retardant, wetting agents, and stain and water repellents.
Industry:Textiles
Polymers that have been modified to increase their dyeability. Fibers and fabrics made from these polymers can be dyed at the boil without the use of carriers.
Industry:Textiles
Polymers modified chemically to make them receptive tocationic dyes.
Industry:Textiles
Pneumatic fiber transport system used in linking textile processing equipment or operations, especially opening, blending, and carding.
Industry:Textiles
Performance parameter of apparel referring to wearability. Encompasses such properties as wicking, stretch, hand, etc.
Industry:Textiles
Merging of two or more substances into a larger substance, i.e., coalesced filaments.
Industry:Textiles
Made up of crystals. The term crystalline applies to sections of all chemical fibers, which consists of alternate crystalline and amorphous (noncrystalline) regions. These regions are influenced by manufacturing conditions and to some extent can be controlled. The degree of crystallinity influences the physical properties of fibers.
Industry:Textiles
In this method, a roller is used to apply the coating to the moving substrate fabric. Various roll configurations can be used.
Industry:Textiles
In cooling extruded polymer filaments, refers tocooling air directed from one side cross the path of the filaments. There maybe some type of suction on the opposite side to remove the heated air.
Industry:Textiles
In polymer manufacture, linkage of the various stages of polymerization so that materials flow without interruption from the addition of raw materials to delivery of the finished polymer from the system. Extrusion as film, chip or fiber may be linked to a continuous polymerization line. Because there is no break in the process while the transition from low molecular weight to high occurs, multiple stage reaction vessels may be required and accurate process control is critical.
