Celanese Corporation, a global specialty materials and chemical company, and Li Auto, a leader in China’s new energy vehicle (NEV) market, announced a joint initiative to launch an innovative ultra-low emission material, Hostaform POM XAP3, in May.

“This collaboration not only demonstrates our leadership in material innovation, but also marks our further expansion into the new energy vehicles market in China,” said Todd Elliott, Senior Vice President, Engineered Materials, Celanese.

This advanced material is designed to significantly reduce vehicle cabin emissions in new cars and is being commercialized in cabin components of Li Auto’s upcoming vehicle models. With 90% lower formaldehyde emissions than the current mainstream industry level, the new Hostaform POM XAP3 is poised to redefine industry benchmarks for in-cabin air quality.

Development of Hostaform POM XAP3 is based on Celanese’s third-generation low-emission technology platform. Through the in-depth integration of materials and design, both Celanese and Li Auto are collaborating to improve passenger experience and comfort.

“As consumers’ concern for in-vehicle environmental health continues to rise, a healthier cabin has become one of the core competencies of smart vehicles,” stated Jichao Duan, Head of Materials Department from Li Auto. “We look forward to advancing technological progress in this field with Celanese, delivering a superior driving experience for our users.”
