A method for manufacturing of a multilayer PVC semi-finished product, in particular a multilayer PVC synthetic leather or a multilayer PVC foam sheet, the method comprising the steps of:

a. Coating a coated or uncoated carrier web with a PVC plastisol, whereby a carrier web coated with an ungelled plastisol layer is obtained; thereafter
b. Gelling the ungelled plastisol layer, whereby a carrier web coated with a gelled plastisol layer is obtained; and thereafter
c. Cooling the carrier web coated with the gelled plastisol layer; characterized in that the coating comprises coating the carrier web with at least two PVC plastisols one above the other, simultaneously or in immediate succession. A corresponding apparatus is further described.

A coating composition containing a. polyvinyl chloride b. one or more compounds of formula (I) ##STR00001## in which R.sup.1a and R.sup.1b are C.sub.7- to C.sub.12-alkyl c. one or more compounds having plasticizing properties selected from adipates comprising C.sub.1- to C.sub.6-radicals, glutarates comprising C.sub.1- to C.sub.6-radicals, sebacates comprising C.sub.2- to C.sub.6-radicals, dibenzoates, monobenzoates comprising a C.sub.5- to C.sub.10-alkyl radical or a benzyl radical, compounds of formula (II), compounds of formula (III), phenyl esters of pentadecylsulfonic acid, cresyl esters of pentadecylsulfonic acid, terephthalates, levulinic esters, isosorbitol valerate, trimellitates and 2,2,4-trimethyl-1-3-pentanediol-diisobutyrate, d. one or more compounds of general formula (IV) ##STR00002##
