Abstract Plastisol coatings based on starch and poly(vinyl alcohol) were investigated. Dry powders based on two different ratios of these two water-soluble polymers were prepared by spray drying aqueous polymer solutions. An oxidized and hydroxypropylated potato starch and a poly(vinyl alcohol) grade with a degree of hydrolysis of 72.5% were used. Poly(alkyl methacrylate) was used in order to improve the water vapour barrier of the coated materials. Starch-containing plastisol pastes were produced by two different rout'es: (1) by adding a liquid plasticizer (glycerol or poly(ethylene glycol)) to the starch/poly(vinyl alcohol)-based powder and (2) by mixing the dry starch/poly(vinyl alcohol)-based powder with the dry poly(alkyl methacrylate) powder and subsequently adding a mixture of liquid plasticizers (glycerol and dipropylene glycol benzoate) to the powder mixture. Free plastisol films and coated papers were produced. Two different base-papers were investigated; greaseproof paper and paperboard. It was possible to produce pure starch/poly(vinyl alchohol) plastisol coatings as well as plastisol coatings based on a mixture of incompatible polymers. Stratified structures created by a double layer coating operation were also investigated. In the case of the double coatings, the first plastisol layer was a pure starch/poly(vinyl alcohol) plastisol according to route 1 and the second layer was a pure poly(alkyl methacrylate) plastisol. The plastisol coatings resulted in improvements in the water vapour and oxygen barrier properties.
