Celanese Corporation (NYSE: CE), a global technology and specialty
materials company, is presenting a technical paper on an
all-thermoplastic composite storage cylinder for use in fuel-cell
automobiles and showcasing new material innovations for advanced fuel
systems during the ITB Automotive
Energy Storage Systems 2014 conference March 5-6 at the Sheraton
Detroit Novi Hotel in Detroit, Michigan.
Celanese, who is also a conference exhibitor, will deliver the technical
paper during the Sustainable
Energy Solutions session.
-
5:00 p.m. on Thursday, March 6: “Development of a Monolithic,
Thermoplastic Composite Type IV Pressure Vessel for Hydrogen Storage
on Automobiles” by Greg Clark and David Almond of Celanese, and Dr.
Matthew Turner and Andrew Clarke of EPL Composite Solutions. They will
highlight their study to design a vessel and develop a manufacturing
process for an all-thermoplastic composite storage cylinder for use in
fuel-cell automobiles.
In addition, Celanese will highlight at its exhibit:
-
Hostaform®
PTX POM Series: A new flexible high-impact acetal copolymer (POM) for
in-tank automotive fuel tubing, which offers excellent toughness and
resilience (-40 degrees Celsius), broad chemical resistance, low
moisture absorption and superior dimensional stability. This injection
and extrudable POM has similar mechanicals to PA11-P and PA12-P but is
oligomer free.
-
Flexible Fortron®
PPS: This next generation flexible polyphenylene sulfide (PPS)
provides superior high temperature resistance above 135 degrees
Celsius, toughness and resilience to -40 degrees Celsius, chemical
resistance to road salt and automotive fluids, no contamination
related to oligomers or plasticizers and excellent permeation
resistance. In addition, it is compatible with existing processing and
forming technologies.
-
Fortron ICE 717F PPS: Developed for long-term performance with
aggressive fuels, this new polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) withstands the
increased operating temperatures of hot diesel engines and enables
higher efficiency pumps with less energy consumption thanks to tighter
dimensional stability.
Celanese offers a product line of high-performance engineering polymers
with a spectrum of advanced properties that include exceptional
electrical and mechanical performance, thermal and chemical resistance
and dimensional stability demanded by fuel and hybrid powertrain systems.
