Evonik to cater to sustainable plasticisers
German firm Evonik plans to launch a new generation of PVC plasticisers and also develop a new brand of products. With this expansion of its product lines, Evonik is broadening its range of sustainable plasticisers with the production of phthalate-free plasticiser 1,2-Cyclohexane dicarboxylic acid diisononyl ester slated to begin in the second half of 2013, with the start-up of a 40,000 tonnes/year facility in Marl, Germany.
