Additives. Because of their versatility, imparted via chemical modification, the appHcations of ethyleneimine encompass the entire additive sector. The addition of PEI to PVC plastisols increases the adhesion of the coatings by selective adsorption at the substrate surface (410). PEI derivatives are also used as adhesion promoters in paper coating (411). The adducts formed from fatty alcohol epoxides and PEI are used as dispersants and emulsifiers (412). They are able to control the viscosity of dispersions, and thus faciHtate transport in pipe systems (413). Eatty acid derivatives of PEI are even able to control the viscosity of pigment dispersions (414). The high nitrogen content of PEIs has a flame-retardant effect. This property is used, in combination with phosphoms compounds, for providing wood panels (415), ceUulose (416), or polymer blends (417,418) with a flame-retardant finish. 

The coating technique starts by applying a solvent-based adhesive on to a previously pretreated metal substrate. The item is then preheated to 200-250°C, the exact time and temperature depending on the metal thickness. It is then dipped in the plastisol which partly gels owing to the... 

Flexible PVC resins and other dioctylphthalate-containing plastics and resins are used in a variety of industrial and domestic products plastisols for carpetback coating (EPA 1987b), film, wire, cables, and adhesives (HSDB 1995). Additional end-use products are automobile and furniture upholstery, wall coverings, window shades, garden hoses, shower curtains, tablecloths, rainwear, shoes, dolls, and toys (Mannsville Chemical Products Corporation 1989). 

Poly(vinyl chloride) is used as a plastisol (dispersion with plasticizers), solution, or water dispersion. It is a good cement for pipes and is used extensively as an adhesive in automobiles. 

The advanced applications for nitrocellulose plastisol propellants require that they be integrally bonded to the motor case. Successful case bonding for the multiyear storage life of a rocket calls for special adhesives and liners which are completely compatible with these highly plasticized propellants. Best results have been obtained with a combination of an impervious rubber liner and a crosslinked adhesive system with a limited affinity for the plasticizers used in the propellants. Examples of effective liners are silica-filled butyl rubber and chlorinated synthetic rubber. Epoxy polyamides, isocyanate-crosslinked cellulose esters, and combinations of crosslinked phenol-formaldehyde and polyvinyl formal varnishes have proved to be effective adhesives between propellant and impervious liners. Pressure curing of the propellants helps... 

The presence of a plasticizer in addition to the carboxylated polyester adversely affected the adhesion of some of the polymers—e.g., cellulose acetate butyrate and poly (vinyl chloride) plastisols. 

Epoxy-PVC plastisols are a type of PVC plastisol adhesive that is used in large quantities in the automobile industry. It is used to bond sheet steel to inner stiffener panels and to seal around the crimped panel edges. These adhesives are formulated as high-solids, thixotropic pastes and are applied as discrete dots or droplets to the stiffener surface or panel edge before joining or crimping. These adhesives are called Hershey drops in the trade because of the characteristic geometry of the droplets. 

These adhesives require relatively high cure temperatures (above 130°C). In the past this had not been a problem, because the adhesive cured in the paint bake cycle. However, with newer paint systems and efforts to reduce energy consumption, lower-cure-temperature adhesives are needed, and epoxy-urethane adhesives and other flexibilized adhesives are beginning to replace the plastisols. 

Many different adhesives have been tested and used in weldbonding. These include both high-strength structural adhesives, such as modified epoxies, and relatively low-strength adhesives, such as vinyl plastisols or epoxy-polysulfides that are commonly used for sealing and vibration damping. Table 14.10 shows that a variety of adhesives and substrates are compatible with the weldbonding process. 

Weldbonded aluminum joints (1-mm aluminum alloy 2036-T4) where compared with spot welded aluminum (1-mm aluminum alloy 2036-T4) and spot welded steel (1-mm steel 1010) joints.45,46 Weldbonded 2036-T4 joints made with a vinyl plastisol adhesive and with a one-part modified epoxy had a fatigue strength about twice that of the spot welded aluminum alloy and approximately the same as that of the spot welded steel. The fatigue strength of the weldbonded aluminum joints with polysufide-epoxy adhesive or with high-peel-strength epoxy adhesive is higher than that of steel spot welds alone. 

This procedure identifies plastisols that are spread-coated on different substrates such as paper, aluminum foil, wood, and plastic sheet or film. Application is by doctor blade, direct roll, or reverse roll operations (Chapter 10). As an example plastisols are roll coated on adhesively primed metal for house sidings, conveyor belts, cloth fabrics, wood panels, and so on. 

Special applications with special compounding include a major market for automotive oil filters where additives are included in the compound the additive causes the plastisol to bond to the filter media and to the metal endcap. The plastisol then becomes both an adhesive and an end seal for the oil filter. Table 16.1 provides an example of a PVC formulation. 

Components for PVC plastisols to be used as coating agents for fusible interlinings, good adhesion to siliconized fabrics dot-printing system. 

Flame retarding plasticizer used in cellulose, polyester and polyurethane. Mainly used in the manufacture of electrical (wire and cable) and automotive plastic parts. May also be used for die preparation of vinyl sheets, fabric coating, plastisols and organosols, adhesives, vinyl packing materials, and conveyor belts. 

Use Adhesives, lacquers, organosols, plastisols, and floor tile. 

They are typically applied as adhesive sealants in bodywork manufacturing (fold bonding and flange bonding, vibration insulation, corrosion protection) and as sealants in bottle and glass caps. For environmental reasons (hydrochloric acid separation in the case of thermal disposal), PVC plastisols are increasingly being replaced by acrylate-plastisols and epoxy systems. 

Plastisol Adhesive consisting of polymers (e.g., polyvinyl chloride) in plasticizers, solidifying to an adhesive or sealing layer by (physical) entrapment of the polymer in the plasticizers when heated (sol-gel transformation).
