Celanese - Cellulose Acetate Flake
Celanese is one of the largest manufacturers of cellulose acetate flake, used primarily for our filter tow as well as multiple biomaterials including Clarifoil® film and BlueRidge® pellets.
Cellulosic and thermoplastic acetate can selectively absorb and remove low levels of certain organic chemicals and be easily bonded with plasticizers, heat and pressure.
What is Cellulose Acetate Flake?
Manufactured by acetylation of wood pulp, flake can be converted into a wide range of products like plastics, films, and fibers.
Chemical Name: Cellulose Diacetate
Delivery Form: Flake Powder
Key Cellulose Acetate Flake Uses:
- Anti-fog film
- Apparel
- Consumer goods
- Food packaging
