Abstract
Plastisol compositions having a two-resin interpenetrating polymer network (IPN) are disclosed. The compositions begin with blocked isocyanate grafted acrylic polymer, blocked isocyanate urethane prepolymer, plasticizer, optionally pigment, and optionally thixotropic agent. When subjected to a thermal cure, the isocyanate groups on the acrylic polymer and urethane prepolymer both become unblocked and both react with the crosslinking agent to form an interpenetrating acrylic-polyurethane network. The two-resin IPN offers improved storage stability, hand-feel characteristics, and processing properties for textile printing among other uses. Preferably these plastisol compositions are essentially free of polyvinyl halides and phthalates restricted for regulatory reasons.
