Celanese Corporation is a Fortune 500 global technology and specialty materials company with its headquarters in Dallas, Texas, United States.
A fiber produced from a polymerized olefin, such as polypropylene or polyethylene.
Industry:Textiles
A high-wet-modulus rayon staple having a microfibrillar structure of fibers. The molecular chain length of the cellulose forming the fiber is about twice as long as in conventional rayon.
Industry:Textiles
A chemical reaction wherein small molecules combine to form much larger molecules.
Industry:Textiles
To undergo polymerization. To react molecules resulting in their combining and forming relatively long-chain, large molecules.
Industry:Textiles
A high molecular weight, chain-like structure from which manufactured fibers are derived; produced by linking together molecular units called monomers.
Industry:Textiles
Fully imidized, manufactured fiber formed from the condensation polymer of an aromatic dianhydride and an aromatic diisocyanate. The fiber is produced by dry spinning. It is a high-shrinkage fiber used in the formation of mechanically stable nonwoven fabrics. These fabrics are made without binders or resins; bonding apparently results from the local temperature and pressure that develop during shrinkage.
Industry:Textiles
A manufactured fiber from polyetheretherketone polymer with high temperature and chemical resistance used in composites as a matrix material and in other industrial applications.
Industry:Textiles
A manufactured fiber spun from polyetherimide polymer having high temperature resistance, excellent processibility, and toughness. Used for matrix materials in composites and in other industrial applications.
Industry:Textiles
A manufactured fiber made of polyethylene, often in monofilament form as well as continuous filament yarns and staple. Ethylene is polymerized at high pressures and the resulting polymer is melt spun and cold drawn. It may also be dry-spun from xylene solution.
Industry:Textiles
High molecular weight fibers from polymers containing sulfone (-SO<sub>2</sub>-) groups and aromatic nuclei. They demonstrate high thermal stability and chemical inertness.
