Weather Resistant and Durable
ELATUR® DINCD contributes significantly to the weather resistance and durability of the products made from it. The plasticizer is easy to process due to its low viscosity and is particularly suitable for demanding exterior and interior applications, such as textile fabrics, roofing membranes, floor coverings, adhesives and sealants, as well as paints and coatings.
This portfolio expansion is part of Evonik's long-term strategy to expand its portfolio of plasticizers, based on specific customer needs.
"
The addition of ELATUR® DINCD to our portfolio ideally complements our existing and proven product family," said Dr. Janina Fischer, director of marketing plasticizers, who is responsible for marketing the new plasticizer. "
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," added Fischer.

New Product Optimization Opportunities
"
In developing the new isononanol-based plasticizer, we were able to draw on many years of experience in research, production and marketing," said Dr. Michael Graß, head of application technology for plasticizers. "
This has enabled us to develop a product based on our technologies that offer customers new opportunities in product optimization through combination of good processability and high durability," added Graß.
The portfolio expansion strengthens the Group's global business with innovative plasticizers: Evonik has offered ELATUR® CH, another new-generation plasticizer, in addition to VESTINOL® 9 since 2013. As a fast fuser for special PVC applications, ELATUR® DPT completes the portfolio and is particularly effective in combination with ELATUR® CH.
The new product is to be manufactured at the Group's largest site in Marl. An initial production campaign for the new plasticizer ELATUR® DINCD has already been successfully carried out. Production will be expanded step by step, in response to market demand.
