The new plasticiser developed by Evonik is particularly suitable for both interior and exterior applications.
Evonik has recently launched the new plasticiser ELATUR® DINCD. Specifically intended for durable products, it is a cyclohexanoate characterised by a combination of much sought-after properties, such as low-temperature flexibility and high UV resistance.
The new plasticiser significantly contributes to the weather resistance and durability of the products made from it, so it is particularly suitable for both challenging exterior and interior applications such as textile fabrics, roofing membranes, floor coverings, adhesives and sealants, as well as paints and coatings. In addition, ELATUR® DINCD is also easy to process due to its low viscosity.
“The addition of ELATUR® DINCD to our portfolio ideally complements our existing and proven product family. Our customers' needs are as diverse as ours. We can now offer them an even wider range of products from which to choose the one that best suits their individual requirements,” stated Dr. Janina Fischer, the Director Marketing Plasticizers at Evonik.
“In developing the new isononanol-based plasticizer, we were able to draw on many years of experience in research, production and marketing. This has enabled us to develop a product based on our technologies that offers customers new opportunities in product optimization through a combination of good processability and high durability” added Dr. Michael Graß, the head of Application Technology for plasticizers at Evonik.
The development of the new plasticiser is part of Evonik's long-term strategy to expand its product portfolio, strengthening the company's global business with innovative plasticisers: Evonik offerings already include ELATUR® CH and VESTINOL® 9 since 2013, as well as the fast fuser for special PVC applications ELATUR® DPT.
ELATUR® DINCD will be manufactured in Marl (Germany).
