Plastisol


Details

The term "plastisol" is used to describe a vinyl dispersion that contains little or no volatile thinners or diluents. Plastisols range in viscosity from water-thin liquid to a heavy paste with a consistency of mayonnaise. The ingredients generally include PVC resins, plasticizers, stabilizers, fillers, and pigments. When no volatile thinners are included, the plastisol is considered as high solids (98-99%). There is always some evaporation of plasticizers during the curing cycle.
