Plastisol

Plastisol can serve as protective, functional, and decorative coatings for a variety of applications, primarily for the coating of metal parts. Plastisols can be applied via the hot-dip & cold-dip process. Plastisol coatings can offer properties such as non-slip, cushioning, color coding, electrical insulation, abrasion resistance, impact resistance, weather and corrosion resistance. Some applications include:

Plastisols used to mold open-ended parts by dipping a solid mold/mandrel into the plastisol, gelling a layer, fusing the gelled layer, and stripping the hollow part from the mold. Custom color matching, as well as a variety of finishes from matte to high gloss are available. Parts such as:

Chemionics offers a complete line of standard & custom formulations for the soft plastic fishing lure industry. These formulations are designed for injection molding, hand-pouring, dip molding (tube baits).

These plastisol products are heated to a molten state, & either poured or injected into a cold/room temperature mold. When cool, the hot melt plastisol is transformed into a soft, rubbery product, at which time the finished part can be removed from the mold.
One application for plastisol hot melts is in mold making for the manufactured stone industry. Our compounds are the cadillac in the industry. They can be custom formulated, however the standard (most common) types are:

These products are used to apply a layer of plastisol onto fabrics & textiles as a coating, dip saturant, or applied to fabrics/films as an adhesive to bond multiple layers together. These plastisols are typically applied by gravure coating, reverse roll coating, knife-over-roll coating, or immersion coating. Applications include:

This process is used for making hollow, flexible or rigid products in a 2-part closed mold. The mold is filled with a predetermined amount of plastisol.
Applications include:

See Our Plastisol Rotational Molding Brochure

This process is used to produce hollow, flexible products by filling an open-mold (female) with plastisol, gelling an inner layer, inverting the mold to pour out the excess plastisol, and fusing the plastisol layer remaining in the mold.
Applications include:

Plastisols formulated for screen printing onto different textiles, woven & non-wovens, and knitted products.
Applications include:

This process is used for molding plastisol directly into or onto a finished article.
Applications include:

This process is used to manufacture solid molded parts by dispensing plastisol into a closed mold.
Applications include:

A process where plastisol is applied to either a temporary substrate (release paper), permanent substrate (fabric, metal) or directly onto a belt where the end product is removed after fusion.
Product applications include:

Chemionics has developed excellent plastisol adhesives for some selected applications:

Chemionics has developed a series of unique compounds for those applications which require a sprayable plastisol. These are often used as a corrosion resistant coating, and are typically used to apply plastisol to vertical surfaces.
Some applications include:
