Looking for high quality Plastisol [New York] 

++

I am looking for a supplier of a high quality Plastisol.

The application needed is not the typical use for Plastisols as large metal structures, tools or automotive parts. We want to work with small pieces 3”x 2” and smaller and the Plastisol used must be a high quality product, very flexible and producing no cracks or discoloration when bent.

Type of application: Dip coating

Characteristics of the pieces to be coated:
Use of our products: Decoration and small toys
Pieces are all made in: Copper wire ( 0.8 millimeters and 1.0 millimeter diameter)
Some parts of the pieces have: Wire loops
Some parts of the pieces are : Soldered with tin

Characteristics of the Plastisol needed:
Thickness of the film: In between 0.5 mm (millimeters) and 1.0 mm (half millimeter and one millimeter).

Shall be provided in many colors: Black-blue-yellow-green-violet-orange-red etc.
Dip Coating: Three or four colors will be applied on the copper wire piece in different parts of it. In some parts of the piece one color will be applied on top of the other.
Flexibility: Must be a Plastisol with high flexibility, The structure of the pieces is copper wire 0.8 millimeter and 1.0 millimeters and shall be able to be bent with no cracks or discoloration of the Plastisol.
Finishing: Mat or satin, not glossy
Primer: Probable not needed, investigations made in products similar than ours show a Plastisol easy to be peeled ( like electric wire ), nevertheless if application of primer will help to obtain a uniform coating we have no objection to use it. Preheat of piece: Preferably not necessary, pieces are very thin and loose heat quickly. Post heat cure of Plastisol coating: Acceptable if it is below 350º Fahrenheit. We think is better to work with a heat-cured Plastisol than cold-cured.
Viscosity: If possible we will also like to have a product "viscosity builder" to add to the Plastisol so we can control or avoid the unwanted "drop" that remains at the lower part of the piece when dried.

Problems: This is the first time we are trying to work with Plastisol. We have been making some tests with Plastisol produced locally but with bad results.
Problems are:
1- Non uniform coating of copper wire.
2- Unwanted drop at the lower part of the piece when dried.
3- Discoloration of Plastisol when twisted or bent.
4- Plastisol coating already cured is too soft

Thank you very much for your attention.
