Reducing Noise and Vibrations With Plastisol Coating

What Is Plastisol?

Plastisol is a plastic or polymer material usually made of a combination of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and plasticizers, which add elasticity. It is most often applied by dip coating or spray coating in varying thicknesses, and can be produced in a wide variety of colors. Plastisol is durable, moisture- and chemical-resistant, abrasion and impact resistant, and performs well in a wide range of temperatures. Additives can enhance plastisol formulations to meet specific requirements such as fire retardancy, hardness, improved UV-tolerance, and other needs.

Plastisol Coatings for Noise Reduction

Anyone who's spent time with children who enjoy banging pots and pans together or pounding on a xylophone is well aware how loud metal-against-metal sounds can be. Coat those in a soft plastic, and you might let them play longer. Reducing sounds among parts in an assembly, such as inside a car, or within your manufacturing processes can be the key to a safer, more comfortable, and more satisfying product or work environment. Plastisol coating's naturally rubbery consistency, along with its versatility and durability make it a suitable, cost-effective choice to reduce noise wherever needed.

Plastisol Coatings for Vibration Dampening

Vibration can be the source of unwanted noises, as well as a cause of worker fatigue and a contributor to equipment wear and tear over time. Plastisol has excellent vibration deadening qualities, offering a low-cost solution to vibration hazards.
