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.

CUSTOM SOLUTION PROVIDES SIGNAL DAMPING AND HEAT RESISTANCE FOR ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR CASE STUDY: BERGAMID™ NYLON FORMULATIONS Challe nge Accepted.
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. • Avoid over-engineering – The new connector must be designed to meet the targeted requirements accurately, without over engineering, thus avoiding the costs of higher-than-needed performance levels. • Meet targeted cost-performance requirements – The selected resin must offer significant savings over the current LCP/carbon fiber formulation through material and/or manufacturing savings, thus enabling penetration of the low-cost computer market with a competitive connector.
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.
