Celanese Corporation (NYSE: CE), a global technology and specialty
materials company, today at Glasstec 2014 in Dusseldorf, Germany,
announced the launch of its Clarifoil® Anti-fog Film for use in
architectural, commercial and high-end optical applications.
“The world-renowned Glasstec trade fair is an ideal location to launch
our Clarifoil® Anti-fog Film which offers exceptional clarity to glass
and mirrored surfaces in both extreme cold and high-humidity
environments,” said Lou Purvis, vice president and general manager of
the cellulose derivatives business of Celanese. “Attendees will quickly
realize that this high performance film offers excellent fog resistance,
superior clarity and durability.”
Clarifoil Anti-fog Film can be utilized in a wide array of end uses
including:
-
architectural applications such as greenhouses, pool enclosures and
skylights;
-
commercial applications such as freezer doors and hotel bathroom
mirrors; and
-
optical applications such as visors and goggles.
How it works
Clarifoil Anti-fog Film is a solid layer of cellulose diacetate film
paired with a remarkably clear adhesive. Resistance to fogging is
inherent in the cellulose diacetate material whereby moisture can pass
into the film, where it can then dissipate; the result is the
longer-lasting anti-fog effect. Most other anti-fog films offer only a
coated surface, and once it washes, wears or scratches away, the
anti-fog properties are gone.
Clarifoil film also offers resistance to most standard window cleaners
and will not be degraded by ultraviolet rays. In addition, the film is
easy to apply with the correct tools.
Seeing is believing
Celanese invites attendees to see the fog resistance properties of this
high performance film during demonstrations on a mirror and on a freezer
door. “Once people view the overall clarity of the film and its
fog-resistance properties first hand, the product nearly sells itself,”
said Purvis.
Glasstec is held October 21-24 in Dusseldorf, Germany, and Celanese will
have technical, sales and marketing representatives in Hall 13 at booth
13B71-5 demonstrating Clarifoil Anti-fog Film and answering questions
from interested attendees. Learn more at www.celanese.com/antifog.
