How Plastisol Coating Keeps Things Quiet

What Is Plastisol?

Plastisol is a mixture of a polymer, typically polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and plasticizing elements which combine to make a stretchy, elastic, substance that's perfect for coating metal and other materials. Cost-effective, durable, and versatile, plastisol can be matched to nearly any color and can have many special finishes and textures as well. Additives can improve many characteristics, such as antibacterial qualities, fire retardancy, UV tolerance, and others. It is usually applied through dipping, casting, or molding.

What Kinds of Noise Does Plastisol Reduce?

Noise pollution can range from mildly annoying to dangerous and unhealthy, so reducing it when possible is important for improved comfort and safety. Because plastisol has a characteristically rubbery feel, while also being very resistant to impacts and abrasions, it is a long-lasting solution to many such noise problems.

BSR (Buzz, Squeak, Rattle)

Many automotive BSR issues result from parts colliding or vibrating against each other. A plastisol coating on problematic parts and components can cushion those impacts, meaning a more quiet ride and more satisfied customers.

Sound & Vibration Dampening

Whether it's factory machinery or tools and equipment on the job site, metal parts striking each other are a recipe for plenty of noise. Plastisol coatings on many components can lower the volume, improving working conditions.
