Celanese Corporation confirmed a declaration of force majeure in China for the following Acetyl Chain products manufactured at its Nanjing, China facility: Acetic Anhydride; Vinyl Acetate Monomer (VAM); Vinyl Acetate Emulsions; and Redispersible Powders. The Company has temporarily shut down acetic anhydride and VAM production in Nanjing to comply with recent requirements of government departments in order to achieve dual energy consumption targets in the Jiangsu Province in 2021. Similar requirements for reduced energy consumption are being applied broadly on energy-intensive industries across multiple provinces. As a result of the shutdown of VAM production, a declaration of force majeure was also necessary for downstream vinyl acetate emulsions and redispersible powders. Celanese continues to operate its acetic acid production unit in Nanjing. Celanese announced that it has lifted force majeure for the following products in the Western Hemisphere: Acetic Acid; Ethyl Acetate; Acetic Anhydride; Methyl Acetate; Dimethylamine (DMA) and Trimethylamine (TMA); Methyl Isobutyl Carbinol (MIBC) and Methyl Isobutyl Ketone (MIBK); and Paraformaldehyde. Celanese declared force majeure on February 18 due to the impacts of extreme winter weather on its operations and supply chain in the U.S. Gulf Coast. At this time, the force majeure declaration remains in place for the following products: Vinyl Acetate Monomer; Vinyl and Acrylic Emulsions; Redispersible Powders; and Ethylene Vinyl Acetate. These products remain on force majeure as a result of ongoing interruptions to the availability of raw materials and global logistics.
