Dear Sir,
We are using liquid pvc ie.called plastisol. Can you tell me how to prevent the affect of moisture properties in pvc components.

Hi Amit,

Plastisol ... um ... well, I sure hope that you are heat curing this otherwise it'll stay sloppy wet for a long time.... surely you must have received some advice from the supplier ... if not, change him !

Plastisol is a monomer, isn't it? To become a polymer, you'd need heat.

But once 'cured', I don't think that you'll find it will absorb moisture.
