MARL, Germany—Evonik Industries A.G. has launched a new plasticizer that it said includes "much sought-after properties," according to a Jan. 25 news release.
Elatur-brand DINCD, a cyclohexanoate, is the latest generation of Evonik's Elatur line. The new product features properties such as low-temperature flexibility and high UV resistance, which contributes to weather resistance and durability in the products made from it, according to the German specialty chemicals company.
Additionally, because of its low viscosity, Evonik said Elatur DINCD is easy to process and suitable for demanding exterior and interior applications like textile fabrics, roofing membranes, floor coverings, adhesives and sealants, and paints and coatings.
Evonik said this is part of the company's "long-term strategy to expand its portfolio of plasticizers, based on specific customer needs."
