As tributyl phosphate, tri-2-ethylhexyl phosphate and 2 such a type of plastisol composition, for example, there ethylhexyldiphenyl phosphate; epoxy type plasticizers is known a composition which comprises a polyvinyl such as epoxydized soybean oil and 2-ethylhexyl epoxy chloride, a plasticizer and a blocked compound of diiso 20 dized tall oil fatty acid ester, and other polyester type cyanate polymer with a long-chain alkylated phenol as plasticizers, which are used alone or in combination of an adhesion-modifier (cf. Japanese Patent First Publica at least two thereof. Such plasticizer has an influence on tion No. 41278/1987). This plastisol composition, how viscosity of the plastisol and properties of the gellated ever, has been found to have less adhesion properties product, and may usually be used in an amount of under low temperature conditions such as 110 to 130 25 65-130 parts (parts by weight, hereinafter the same) per C., though it has an excellent storage stability under 100 parts of polyvinyl chloride. conditions of high temperature and high humidity with The blocked isocyanate compound used in the pres out foaming and discoloration and is capable of forming ent invention as an adhesion-modifier is prepared by a gelated compound with an excellent adhesion strength blocking a diisocyanate polymer with a conventional under high temperature conditions. 30 procedure. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The above diisocyanate polymer can be prepared by a conventional method, that is, by polymerizing a diiso The present inventors have intensively studied to cyanate monomer such as an aliphatic diisocyante (e.g. improve adhesion properties of the plastisol composi hexamethylene diisocyanate, lysine diisocyanate), an tion under low temperature conditions, and as a result, 35 alicyclic diisocyanate (e.g. hydrogenated diphenyl it was found that the adhesion properties under low methane diisocyanate, isophorone diisocyanate, hydro temperature conditions can remarkably be improved by genated tolylene diisocyanate) and an aromatic diisocy adding a specific curing agent for an epoxy resin to the anate (e.g. tolylene diisocyanate, diphenylmethane di above plastisol composition. isocyanate, naphthylene diisocyanate, xylene diisocya That is, the present invention provides a plastisol nate) in an inert solvent (e.g. ethyl acetate, methyl ace composition which comprises a polyvinyl chloride, a tate, butyl acetate, chlorobenzene) or in a plasticizer plasticizer and a blocked isocyanate compound as an (phthalic acid esters, phosphoric acid esters, adipic acid adhesion-modifier, supplemented with a powder curing esters, trimelitic acid esters).
