We are transferring coverage of Eastman Chemical and Celanese, two leading North American specialty chemical companies. These firms use commodity chemicals like acetic acid, methanol, and ethylene to create high-value plastics and additives for specific customer applications.
Eastman is well-positioned to meet evolving chemical demands in auto with window interlayers and specialty plastics through its best-in-class patented products.
Acetate tow supply will be added by competitors that are agnostic to returns, forcing Eastman to rationalize further capacity.
