“Gist”: Plastisols from blocked-iso grafted acrylate in plasticizer

Why it is interesting:
Conventional plastisols are suspensions of PVC particles in a (usuallly phthalate-) plasticizer. The suspension can be cured by heating, which results in a plasticized elastomer.  Plastisols are used for coatings of e.g. car underbodies and for ‘screen printing’ of textiles. According to this invention a non-PVC plastisol can be produced by dispersing core-shell acrylate polymer particles (Mn between 300,000 and 1,000,000) with blocked isocyanate groups grafted to the backbone into a plasticizer, preferably into dioctylphthalate, together with a latent amine crosslinker like adipic dihydrazide. No information is given about the blocking agent but the plastisol is said to cure at 130-170°C and be especially suited for textile printing.
