Is Plastisol Coating Right for Your Business?

What Is Plastisol?

Created from a blend of a vinyl resin (usually polyvinyl chloride) and plasticizers which make it more stretchy, plastisol is a highly-resistant, durable, cost-effective material with a distinctive soft, rubbery feel. Plastisol is particularly versatile, and can be applied through hot-dip or cold-dip processes as well as hot-dip molding, and cast and rotational molding methods. Numerous additives can enhance plastisol's performance to meet your requirements.

Industries Benefiting from Plastisol Coatings

Nearly any industry can take advantage of plastisol coatings to increase part longevity, add safety features, and increase protection. Some frequent uses of plastisol coatings are found in:

• Wires, components, and tools for the electrical industry
• Protection and cushioning for the automotive industry
• Safety and comfort in the hand tool industry
• Visibility and durability in the safety equipment industry
• Rack, basket, and other coatings for industrial applications 

Reasons Your Business Might Need Plastisol Coatings

Plastisol coatings are cost-effective, long-lasting, and have so much to offer. Plastisol can be applied to any substrate that will tolerate the temperature of heat-curing the coated item to solidify the liquid plastisol. Some solutions plastisol can provide include:

• Reduction of BSR (buzz, squeak, rattle) problems in vehicles
• Noise reduction
• Improved grip for handles
• Electrical insulation, including high-voltage
• Reduced vibration and fatigue
• Nearly any color, including special effects
• Superior impact and abrasion resistance
• Chemical- and corrosion-resistant protection
• Inexpensive, partial coating is required
