What is Plastisol ? 
 
Plastisol is a suspension of PVC particles in a plasticizer that flows as a liquid.   Plastisol is turned into products by using heat to fuse the material into a solid end product. Plastiosl has different formulations that can produce a variety of physical properties. The hardness of Plastisol is shore A5-thru shore D 60 with tensile strength of 1700 psi.  Plastisol is available in a full color spectrum plus clear and metal flake. The surface finish is shiny smooth to dull matte and can be hot stamped  or pad printed.  It is abrasion resistant and self-extinguishing in fire. Temperature limits are less than -70°F (low temperature) or 430°F (high temperature).  Plastisol is resistant to most acids and alkaline materials and has FDA and USDA approvals. Biomedical grades are also available.
