Hence, due to the steady consumption of
vinyl acetate monomer in the U.S., the glacial acetic market in North America will witness moderate growth in the coming future.
The company said on Saturday it had started trial operations at its
vinyl acetate monomer plant in Jubail.
increase for all grades of tetraethylene glycol; Effective immediately--$0.18/lb, increase in North America, $400/MT in Latin America, India/Middle East/Africa and Asia Pacific and 300 [euro]/MT in Europe for
vinyl acetate monomer.
Celanese is also building a 600,000 metric ton acetic acid facility and a 300,000 metric ton

DuPont Packaging and Industrial Polymers, Wilmington, DE, has signed a letter of intent with Saudi International Petrochemical to license DuPont technology and participate with other entities in a joint venture for a new 275,000 tons/year
vinyl acetate monomer manufacturing plant to be located in Jubail Industrial City, Saudi Arabia.
In 2014, by application type,
vinyl acetate monomer (VAM) was the largest application segment for the market accounting for 33% of the global acetic acid consumption.
The agreements were with Performance Food Group, Inc., which owns and operates a food distribution and refrigeration warehouse facility where it uses anhydrous ammonia in its refrigeration systems; and with Solutia Inc., which operates a chemical production facility and handles
vinyl acetate monomer in its process.
This increase is attributed to the continued pressures on raw materials, notably ethylene and
vinyl acetate monomer (VAM), added the company.
SipChem manufactures and markets methanol, butanediol, tetrahydrofuran, acetic acid, acetic anhydride,
vinyl acetate monomer, as well as carbon monoxide through its various affiliates.
22 May 2013 - US chemical products maker Celanese Corp (NYSE:CE) on Wednesday unveiled plans to dispose of its acetic anhydride unit in Roussillon, France and its
