How to Use
1. Clean the pad mold with detergent, dry thoroughly, and apply a thin layer of mold release agent.
2. Mix pad printing silicone (Component A) with silicone oil (adjust for hardness: 100:30 for 15A°, 100:0 for 25A°). Avoid excessive silicone oil to prevent reduced durability.
3. Add 2-3% curing agent (based on total weight of mixed silicone and oil), stir evenly for 2-3 minutes.
4. Vacuum degas the mixture for ≤10 minutes to remove bubbles, then pour slowly into the mold.
5. Allow curing at room temperature for 2-4 hours (faster with more curing agent) before demolding.
Application Scenarios
Ideal for decorating ceramic products including:
- Ceramic tableware (plates, bowls, mugs)
- Decorative ceramic crafts and vases
- Ceramic tiles and wall decorations
- Ceramic electronics casings
- Custom-branded ceramic gifts
It helps manufacturers reduce material waste by 25%, boost production efficiency by 30%, and enhance product aesthetics, driving market competitiveness.
Certifications and Compliance

Production Process
Raw material inspection → Precision formula mixing → PTFE integration → Quality testing (viscosity, hardness) → Vacuum degassing → A/B component separation → Sealed packaging → Final inspection. Pre-production samples available for approval.
FAQ
Q1: How does silicone oil dosage affect pad performance?
A1: More silicone oil softens the pad (suitable for large patterns), but excess (over 50% of silicone weight) reduces wear resistance and print cycles.
Q2: Can it be used with high-temperature ceramic firing?
A2: Yes, it withstands post-printing firing temperatures up to 220℃ without deformation.
Q3: Is it compatible with different ceramic inks?
A3: Yes, compatible with solvent-based, water-based, and UV-curable ceramic inks.
Q4: How to store the product properly?
A4: Store in sealed iron drums at 25℃, away from water, direct sunlight, and high humidity to maintain 12-month shelf life.
Q5: Do you offer technical support for mold design?
A5: Yes, we provide full guidance on mixing ratios, curing conditions, and mold optimization for optimal results.
