ELATUR® TM (Tri-isononyl trimellitate)  

Plasticizers from Evonik offer manufacturers of flexible PVC and their products flexibility, safety and above-average technical performance with consistently high quality.

They act like a molecular lubricant: The molecules sandwich themselves between PVC's polymer chains. This makes the originally tightly packed, rigid structure moveable, allowing the chains to slide past each other.

ELATUR® TM is specialty plasticizer which is based on our raw material INA (isononanol). Its superior temperature resistance makes it an ideal plasticizer for high temperature cable applications. And due to its superior low volatility and ultra-low fogging ELATUR® TM is also the ideal candidate for automotive interiors like artificial leather.

With the ELATUR® family, Evonik offers plasticizers of the latest generation which makes polymer materials flexible and smooth in processing and in use.

ELATUR® TM features superior temperature resistance which makes it a preferred choice for high temperature cables. In combination with the excellent electrical resistance, ELATUR® TM offers an outstanding stability in high temperature applications and withstands the most demanding conditions. The high resistance and low volatility ensures perfect insulation of the cable, thus make it durable, safe and reliable even under the highest load.

In addition, ELATUR® TM is suitable for car interior applications such as dashboards, car seats, and steering wheel coverings. Due to its excellent low volatility level and ultra-low fogging behavior ELATUR® TM is an ideal product for high quality artificial leather.
