Evonik expands plasticizer portfolio with Elatur TM

Suitable for demanding applications such as high-temperature cables as well as high-quality interior fittings

With its product ELATUR TM, Evonik is launching another latest-generation innovative plasticizer, a year after the last product launch. The new specialty product belongs to the trimellitate group and is characterized by a combination of much sought-after properties: high temperature resistance, low volatility, and low migration behavior.

ELATUR TM makes a significant contribution to the durability, safety and reliability of the products made from it. These include, for example, high-temperature cables, dashboards, car seats and steering wheel trim in vehicle interiors.

"The portfolio expansion is in line with our expansion strategy with the latest generation of isononanol (INA)-based plasticizers," explains Roland Pietz, market segment head for oxo-alcohols and plasticizers at Evonik Performance Intermediates. Sara Raschke, marketing manager, adds, "With ELATUR® TM, we are meeting market- and customer-specific requirements and helping to improve our customers' competitiveness."
