Plastisol

Name:
Plastisol
Detailed information:
A dispersion of finely divided resin in a plasticizer. A typical composition is 100 parts resin and 50 parts plasticizer, forming a paste that gels when heated to 150C as a result of solvation of the resin particles by the plasticizer. If a volatile solvent is included, the plastisol is called an organosol. Plastisols are used for molding thermoplastic resins, chiefly polyvinyl chloride.See Plasticizer.
