Plastisol

Plastisol Information and Specifications:

Piper uses plastisols in its Dip Coating, Dip Molding, Rotational Molding, and Casting processes.

PLASTISOL is a liquid at room temperature. It is comprised of three main ingredients, PVC resin(s), a plasticizer package, and stabilizer package. Additives such as colorant, antimicrobials, textures, flame retardants, etc. can be added for enhanced properties. At the proper processing temperature, the liquid suspension fuses into semi-rigid vinyl (polyvinyl chloride) never to liquefy again. Plastisol compounds are extraordinarily versatile. Piper can formulate plastisol, allowing us to make exactly what our customers need for their jobs.
