PVC Plastisol Additives and Applications

PVC plastisol generally consists of PVC resin dispersed in a liquid plasticiser, with additives such as stabilizers, pigments, fillers, and processing aids added as required. The formulation is selected according to the desired flexibility, appearance, processing behaviour, and end-use performance. Specific plastisol formulations vary by application and customer requirements.

Plasticisers are the primary additives used to improve PVC flexibility. Stabilizers help support processing performance, while other formulation components may be selected to achieve the required softness, clarity, colour, and thermal stability. The final additive package depends on the flexible PVC application, such as flooring, hose, tubing, or molded goods.

PVC plastisol is a liquid dispersion of PVC resin in a plasticiser system. It can be formulated with stabilizers, pigments, fillers, and processing aids for application-specific performance. After processing and heating, the dispersion develops into a flexible vinyl material. Plastisol formulations are used where controlled coating, molding, or flooring performance is required.

IKAstab HGS 9400 / 9900 Flooring Stabilizer One Packs are intended for flooring applications. HGS 9400 is formulated for resilient flooring, while HGS 9900 is formulated for cushioned vinyl flooring. Both are calcium-based stabilizer solutions supplied in one pack format and supported by rigorous quality testing.

The products are formulated for different flooring applications. IKAstab HGS 9400 is formulated for resilient flooring, while IKAstab HGS 9900 is formulated for cushioned vinyl flooring. Selecting between them should reflect the flooring construction and processing requirements. IKAvin can provide technical assistance for application-specific formulation discussions.

A one-pack stabilizer combines the required stabilizer components into a prepared package for the intended PVC application. This can simplify additive handling and support consistent formulation practice. IKAvin’s flooring products use calcium-based stabilizers and are designed for resilient and cushioned vinyl flooring, with sustainability and quality testing included in the product offering.
