“As a company on the forefront of innovation, Celanese continues to invest in new technologies that enable customers to take full advantage of new materials and expand their product lines,” said Jameson Fee, Celanese design and simulation leader and program manager. The feature-rich Autodesk Simulation Moldflow is our preferred simulation package, which quantifies and demonstrates the cycle time benefits of Fortron ICE PPS.”

Fortron ICE grades can help customers stay competitive by reducing cycle times, scrap rates and overall production costs, as well as improving flatness and enabling easier demolding.

Injection molders that use hot molding systems, operating at temperatures greater than 135 degrees Celsius (275 degrees Fahrenheit), can reduce molding cycle times, providing production cost-savings and increasing net operating capacity; improve demolding of parts, decreasing the number of broken parts and reducing costly rework.
 
In addition, molders with cold injection units, operating at temperatures between 90 degrees to 135 degrees Celsius (194 degrees to 275 degrees Fahrenheit), can achieve full crystallization at lower temperatures, opening new opportunities without the additional cost of hot molding equipment. Fortron PPS is a semi-crystalline polymer often used to replace metals and thermosets in various automotive, electrical/electronics, aerospace, fluid handling and industrial/consumer applications.
