Materials
Plastisol
This thermoplastic (PVC) tops the list of dip-moldable materials
because of it's long history of success, ease of processing,
affordability, and prevalence in the dip coating andmolding industries.
Plastisol is liquid at room temperature and once exposed to a certain
elevated temperature, gels and remains a solid.
This polymer can range in hardness from 33 (softest) to 96 (hardest)
Shore A scale durometer and offer temperature resistance from -20 degF
to 160 degF.
