Standard Plastisol

QCM Company makes a line of standard plastisols that "do everything well," but specific properties can be greatly enhanced through formulation design. Some of these include:

HARDNESS from about 10 on a Shore A to 50-60 on a Shore D. From a material of almost gummy consistency, through one of a tough, rubbery consistency, to a hard, tough, impact resistant plastic.

COLOR and color effects are practically unlimited and can include metallics, fluorescents, luminescents, and phosphorescents, transparent and opaque clears, whites, and colors. QCM can match any color. Ultra-violet light resistance is very good and we have special formulations for long-term outdoor use.

CHEMICAL RESISTANCE to acids, bases, salt solutions, fuels, oils, solvents, greases and waxes, soaps and detergents. Typical chemical resistance is excellent, especially in the higher durometer plastisols.

ELECTRICAL PROPERTIES dielectric strength or insulating properties can be varied. Typical dielectric strength is 400 volts per mil in thicknesses of at least 3 mils. Volume resistivity is about 10 to 10 OHMS/CM.

PHYSICAL PROPERTIES Cut and Tear strength and abrasion resistance can be varied, but is excellent in higher durometer plastisols. Typical tensile strength: 500-3000 psi. Typical elongation: 150-600%. Resilience and compressions set can be varied.

GEL AND CURE TEMPERATURES Gel temperature can be varied from about 140 degrees F. to 200 degrees F. Cure temperature can be varied from about 275 degrees F. to 400 degrees F.

FUNGAL RESISTANCE This is ordinarily not a problem; however, fungicides can be added when the conditions are especially severe.

LOW TEMPERATURE FLEXIBILITY AND CRACK RESISTANCE Down to -60 degrees F. in special formulations. Typical plastisols are good down to -20 degrees F.

NON-TOXIC AND F.D.A. APPROVED COMPOUNDS FOR SKIN, FOOD, AND BEVERAGE CONTACT

THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY Plastisol is generally a good heat insulator in thicker coatings. Almost any formulation will withstand continuous exposure to temperatures of 180 degrees F. and some special compounds will resist 400 degrees F. for up to two hours. Typical thermal conductivity is 3.0 - 4.0 X 10/-4 cal. per sec. per sq. cm. per degrees C.

ADHESION We have both adhesive formulations and primers for our standard formulations.

FLAME SPREAD RATING A typical plastisol would be classified as "very slow burning". We can formulate plastisol to be completely "Non-Burning."
