Celanese Announces Vinyl Acetate-based Emulsions Price Increase in the Americas

Thursday 12. June 2014 - Celanese Corporation (NYSE: CE), a global technology and specialty materials company and a global leader in VAE emulsions, announced today that due to market conditions, including the global supply unavailability of vinyl acetate monomer, it will increase the price of vinyl acetate-based emulsions sold in the Americas.

This announcement is in addition to the price increases for the same vinyl-based emulsions which were announced on March 7, 2014 and effective April 1, 2014, and announced on January 10, 2014 and effective on February 1, 2014.
This price increase affects all applications including, but not limited to, adhesives, paints and coatings, building and construction, nonwovens, glass fiber, carpet, paper and textiles.
