Description

A Plastisol is a Colloidal Dispersion of small Polymer Particles, usually Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC), in a Liquid Plasticizer with a typical concentration of 86% (DINP) forming an Extremely Flexible PVC Product. When heated to around 180 °C (356 °F), the Plastic Particles absorb the Plasticizer, causing them to swell and fuse together forming a Viscous Gel. Once this is cooled to below 60 °C (140 °F) it becomes a flexible, permanently plasticized Solid Product. This process is called 'Curing'.

A Plastisol is used for making Fishing Lures (Soft Plastic Bait), Plastisol Inks, Slush Molding, Solid Rocket Boosters and as Polymer Clays.
