Plastisol is a type of plastic made of PVC and plasticizing substances, giving it a soft, rubbery feel. Used primarily for dipping and molding, plastisol accepts a variety of colors, textures, and finishes, making it an extremely versatile, low-cost player in the plastics world. Benefiting from its durability, chemical resistance, temperature tolerance, and impact resistance, applications for plastisol dip coatings are endless, and include:

1. Tool Handles

One of its most popular uses, plastisol dipped tool handles improve grip, especially in inclement weather, add visibility, and protect users from electrical current.

2. Safety Equipment

From gloves to litter baskets, many pieces of safety equipment are protected and made more grippable and insulated with a plastisol coating

3. Playground Equipment

The soft, rubbery nature of plastisol makes it a no-brainer for coating playground equipment. Children are better protected from impacts and rough or sharp edges, while colorful plastisol coatings also add visibility and better graspability, keeping everyone safer.

4. Hooks, Hangers, & Handles

Easily helping to hold contents in place and aiding users in gripping as well, plastisol-coated hooks, hangers, and handles can help keep tools, parts, and people from sliding around.

5. Wiring & Bus Bars

With excellent insulating qualities, plastisol coatings have long been employed for coating electrical wires and components such as bus bars to prevent unwanted contact, maintain cleanliness, and protect users.

6. Kitchenware 

No one wants to drop food on the floor, so adding plastisol coatings to kitchenware handles such as tongs and ladles adds safety and confidence.

7. Dumbbells & Kettlebells

Soft, grippable, plastisol-coated exercise weights can make a safer power workout a breeze. 

8. Special Needs & Rehabilitation Aids

Many people with special needs or those undergoing physical rehabilitation may have difficulty using the small parts needed so often in daily life. Adding plastisol dipped handles to silverware can make it easier to maintain a grip for independent eating. The bowls of spoons can also be coated to help prevent collisions with teeth for diners with shaky hands or poor control.
