Companies going through all the trouble of producing plastisols in-house for their manufacturing operations would find themselves better served letting Rutland produce those plastisols in our house instead. Our expertise in dispersion chemistry and process development is unsurpassed - as are our production facilities, storage capacity, and bulk-packaging and just-in-time delivery capabilities. All of which are available for hire through the comprehensive outsourcing services we provide. Plastisols, after all, are Rutland's core business. We can mix them, blend them, and deaerate them more efficiently and more economically than companies whose core businesses are something else. And with superior quality, too, as our QS-9000 and ISO 9001 certifications attest.

Customer Benefits

The advantages of becoming a Rutland outsourcing customer are many:

• Freedom from the expense and environmental implications of plastisol production ·
• The ability to focus additional resources on the primary operation ·
• Faster turnarounds and shorter lead times than in-house schedules typically permit ·
• Higher quality, lower costing plastisols thanks to Rutland's certified process controls and raw-material purchasing efficiencies

Outsourcing Services and Equipment

Rutland’s “turnkey” outsourcing services for industrial plastisols comprise...

• Custom Formulating
• High-Speed Mixing
• Low-Speed Mixing
• Custom Blending
• Vacuum Deaeration
• Bulk Storage
• Just-In-Time Delivery
• Twin-shaft, rotating-head mixers — variable and dual speed — with full vacuum capability and 1,000-gallon, water-cooled vessels
• Twin-shaft, rotating-head mixers — variable and dual speed — with full vacuum capability and 500-gallon, water-cooled vessels
• Single-shaft mixers — variable and single speed — with capacities of 50, 250, and 500-gallons, for low viscosity plastisols and screen print inks

Outsourcing With Rutland - It Just Makes Sense

Our twin-shaft mixers are linked to data acquisition computers for absolute process control. Our pilot lab supports trial batching and plant scale-up with variable-speed mixers offering 1 to 5 gallon capacity, water-cooled vessels, and vacuum capability. And we have 15 pressurized, vacuum capable tanks ready to deaerate critical plastisol compounds in 50 to 1,000-gallon batches. Moreover, to ensure that every ounce of plastisol gets where it has to go when it has to be there, we maintain our own private fleet of tank trucks and tractor-trailers. With all of the foregoing at the customer's disposal, the answer to this question should be clear: Why spend manpower, production space, and capital resources on doing internally what can be done better, faster, and cheaper under a outsourcing arrangement with Rutland Plastic Technologies?
