Abstract: A sprayable plastisol composition comprises 10 to 60% by weight of a polymer powder mixture having a particle size of less than 60 microns of a first polymer component and a second slightly cross-linked polymer component, whereby the first component forms the continuous phase after gelling of the plastisol and the second component is present as discontinuous phase dispersed therein, 15 to 65% by weight of a plasticiser which is compatible with the first polymer component but incompatible with the second polymer component, and 0 to 40% by weight of fillers. The composition is especially suitable for use in sound damping of sound emitting surfaces.

Abstract: A plastisol composition containing plasticizers, fillers and styrene copolymers selected from (a) styrene, .alpha.-methyl styrene and p-methyl styrene, and (b) 3 to 20% by weight, based on the weight of the styrene copolymers, of a comonomer selected from methacrylic acid, acrylic acid and itaconic acid, and optionally (c) a crosslinking comonomer, wherein the maximum of the molecular weight distribution of said copolymers is greater than 1 million as determined by gel permeation chromatography.

Abstract: A plastisol composition based on styrene copolymers, plasticizers and inorganic fillers contains, as styrene copolymers, copolymers which can be produced by emulsion polymerization and contain a) styrene and/or .alpha.-methyl styrene and/or p-methyl styrene and b) 3 to 20 wt.-% (relative to the copolymer) methacrylic acid and/or acrylic acid and/or itaconic acid. To increase the abrasion resistance, further crosslinkers or strengtheners can be added. The plastisols are suitable for use in motor vehicle construction as underseal material, as an adhesive for hood lining, as a compound for grille protection or as a spot-welding paste, and in the packaging products industry as a sealing compound for container closures or as a seam seal or as a flange-joint adhesive for tin cans.

Abstract: Plastisol compositions based on vinyl chloride/vinyl acetate copolymers produced by suspension polymerization have a low viscosity, even with low polymer-to-plasticizer ratios, so that they may be used for plastisol formulations suitable for airless spraying. The compositions are stable in storage and show good gelation properties. Coatings based on these plastisols have a good noise-damping effect, even with high vinyl acetate contents.

Abstract: The invention relates to acoustically active sprayable plastisol compositions based on styrene copolymers and/or alkyl methacrylate homopolymers and/or copolymers of methyl methacrylate which, in addition to the favorable abrasion properties and corrosion-preventing properties of the plastisols, have a good vibration-damping effect and distinctly reduce the noise caused by particle impact (chippings, water, sand).

Abstract: A mass and spring system for soundproofing, particularly in vehicles, comprises a bending-soft heavy plastic layer as the mass and a soft layer as the spring, which is applied to the sound radiating surface or wall and which is a gel of 10 to 50% by weight of an organic polymer or silicone polymer and 50 to 90% by weight of a plasticizer compatible therewith, which at room temperature has a modulus of elasticity E'.ltoreq.5.times.10.sup.5 Pa and an internal loss factor d.gtoreq.0.5.
