Celanese Launches Advanced Materials and Services at K 2025

A prominent innovation from Celanese is the enhanced Chemille® digital assistant, an AI-driven platform designed to simplify and accelerate material selection for customers. By intelligently analyzing product attributes, application requirements, and essential certifications, the Chemille® digital assistant provides tailored recommendations to streamline decision-making and improve project outcomes.

This next-generation tool provides predictive insights and customized guidance for designers and engineers, transforming the way they access and apply product data during planning and development processes. With its intuitive interface and advanced analytics, the Chemille® digital assistant helps identify solutions, saves time, and may reduce development costs.

“With the global launch of new features for the Chemille® digital assistant and the demonstration of new specialty materials, Celanese is showcasing how we develop unique solutions and design the future together with our customers."Todd Elliott, Senior Vice President of Celanese Engineering Materials, said."

Visitors to the Celanese booth can experience the Chemille® digital assistant firsthand and learn how it simplifies and accelerates material selection. The platform offers various intuitive search pathways, including data sorted by performance attributes, applications, and competitive grade offsets, making it easier than ever to find the ideal material. In addition to material selection, the Chemille® digital assistant also serves as a comprehensive resource center.

In the latest version, the Chemille® digital assistant can now easily access important documents directly, including:

- Material card, Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) declaration, carbon footprint declaration

Regulatory information, such as IMDS, REACH, RoHS, and PFAS-free declarations

One of the standout features of the Chemille® digital assistant is its 24/5 live chat support, consisting of real engineers (not robots), ensuring expert guidance is always available.
