Plastisols are dispersions of pvc resin in plasticizers and modified with other raw materials to yield the desired properties of the end user.
Vinyl vs plastisol.
On cooling below 60 degrees c a flexible permanently plasticized solid product results.
Then when heated to the correct temperature in a dip molding oven the components of plastisol fuse together to form a flexible vinyl solid that is quite durable.
In the processing of plastisols plastisol viscosities at shear rates associated with the manufacturing process technology and plastisol viscosity stability are important properties using lower molecular weight or linear plasticizers will yield lower plastisol viscosity when compared at equal concentrations.
And with resistance to electricity chemicals and weathering.

Plastisol is a suspension of pvc or other polymer particles in a liquid plasticizer.
It flows as a liquid and can be poured into a heated mold when heated to around 177 degrees celsius the plastic particles dissolve and the mixture turns into a gel of high viscosity that usually cannot be poured anymore.
Plastic is material consisting of any of a wide range of synthetic or semi synthetic organic compounds that are malleable and so can be molded into solid objects.
Plastisols can be compounded to produce vinyls in almost any durometer hardness clarity and color.
Plastisol is a vinyl compound that is liquid at room temperature and will keep for years.
When heated it fuses into ordinary vinyl never to liquefy again.
Plastisol heat transfers are generally produced by screen printers that are set up for this.
Durability excellent when properly applied the heat transfer vinyl will outlast the life of the garment without cracking peeling or fading.
The two main types of heat transfers plastisol and vinyl.
Plastisol screen printed transfers.
Plastisol is a liquid form of vinyl that is cured by heat to form a solid end product.
When in its liquid form it can be poured into a mold.
Plastisols are considered 100 solids material.
