These
additive solutions create a char or gas that
reduces oxygen at the source of flame, leading to
components that become self-extinguishing, and
potentially lowering the heat release rate over time.
Fire time to ignition is increased while heat release
and fire spread are reduced, resulting in enhanced
fire safety for life and property.
TARGET APPLICATIONS
• Aerospace
• Appliances
• Automotive, including electric vehicles
• Building & construction
• Electrical & electronics
• Public transportation
• Recreational vehicles, bikes & scooters
• Wire & cable
IMPACT
• Reduce spread of fire and heat release
• Limit quantity of smoke to allow people
to find their way to safety more easily
• Limit toxicity and acidity of gases so
people are less likely to be overcome by
fumes
• Enhance char formation, avoiding droplets
which can proliferate fire
• Meet regulation and legislation
requirements

Thermoplastics, on the other
hand, can be reformed and reset over and over again using heat.
Thermoplastic itself means “the ability to
be reprocessed by heat.”
Or, if a product is
made incorrectly or needs to be adjusted
during the prototyping phase, it can simply
be heated again and reshaped, creating
no waste.

It must also have the required heat
resistance, be strong enough to maintain a tight electrical
connection and be flexible enough to allow a snap fit
Working closely with the
manufacturer’s engineers, Avient determined that the material
required a special combination of properties:
• A heat-resistant base resin that would provide the level of
signal dampening prescribed
• Mechanical properties that would ensure an effective
electrical connection and at the same time allow for
snap-fit installation
• A cost-effective solution that would enable the
manufacturer to compete in this new market
Striving for optimal results, the manufacturer evaluated more
than 30 different materials.
https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2021-06/plastisol-storage-handling-technical-bulletin.pdf
Good warehousing practices include keeping the
container tightly closed when not in use, storing
the plastisol at room temperature and away from
heat sources or direct sunlight, and avoiding
exposure to water.
While
at times this may seem desirable, exposure to
sources of heat will result in a faster rate of viscosity
increase, or even gelation (solidification) of the
plastisol.
Stirring should be done
gently so as not to introduce air or heat into the
plastisol, but forceful enough to re-disperse any
settled material on the bottom.
