Celanese Corporation Declares Force Majeure on Western Hemisphere Acetyl Chain and Acetate Tow Products

Celanese Corporation (NYSE: CE), a global chemical and specialty materials company, today confirmed a declaration of force majeure for the following Acetyl Chain and Acetate Tow products to its customers in the Western Hemisphere:

• Acetic acid
• Vinyl acetate monomer (VAM)
• Ethyl acetate
• Acetic anhydride
• Vinyl and acrylic emulsions
• Redispersible powders

Celanese cannot provide any specific details or timing of the full impact to customers. Celanese regrets the impact this will have on customers and will stay in close communication to minimize the impact of this event.
