Gelation and ultimate fusion of layers of plastisol is a major step in producing finished spread‐coated vinyl products. An analysis of the process has been made, concentrating on heat‐up, required conditions for adequate fusion, and the associated plasticizer evaporation losses. It is further shown how the developed model can be used to help select optimal process conditions.
