Technical Specifications
Base Material: Tin curing silicone & Platinum cured mold silicone (dual options); Type: RTV 2 Silicone Rubber; Operating Temperature: -65℃ to 200℃; Mixing Ratio (A:B): 100:10 (adjustable); Curing Time: 12-24 hours (room temperature); Shrinkage Rate: ≤0.1%; Printing Life: ≥50,000 times; Viscosity: 6000-9000 mPa·s (25℃); Hardness: 18-28 Shore A (customizable); Shelf Life: 12 months (sealed, room temperature).
Product Features & Advantages
1. Ultra-fine texture: No impurities or particles, ensuring smooth pad surface and clear pattern transfer.
2. Superior resilience & elasticity: Perfectly fits curved porcelain surfaces, avoiding incomplete printing.
3. Exceptional durability: Added with DuPont silicone pad for ceramic printing, it supports over 50,000 prints without tearing or wear, reducing pad replacement costs.
4. Excellent oil absorption: Quickly picks up ink, ensuring vivid and consistent patterns.
5. Low shrinkage & bubble-free: Guarantees pad precision and stable performance.
6. Strong adaptability: Maintains good quality even with 200%-300% silicone oil added, adjustable hardness.
7. Antistatic performance: Prevents dust adsorption, protecting printing quality.
8. Compared with ordinary pad printing silicone, it has better high-temperature resistance and wear resistance, suitable for long-term mass production.
How to Use
1. Mix Part A and Part B evenly with the correct ratio: Use an electronic scale for accurate weighing (e.g., 100:10). Avoid excessive catalyst, which will shorten operation time; insufficient mixing will cause partial solidification, reducing pad life and wasting silicone.
2. Vacuum pumping (optional but recommended): Pump for less than 10 minutes to discharge all air bubbles, ensuring bubble-free finished pads. Over-pumping will cause cross-linking reaction, making subsequent steps impossible.
3. Pouring: Pour the mixed silicone into the pad mold slowly.
4. Demolding & curing: Demold after full curing, then set the silicone pad aside for another 12 hours before printing for optimal performance.
Application Scenarios
Specially designed for porcelain and ceramic printing, it is widely used in: Porcelain tableware (bowls, plates, cups), ceramic crafts, porcelain decorations, and also suitable for plastic, electroplated products, toys and other irregular products. It helps manufacturers improve production efficiency by 25%, reduce material waste, and enhance product competitiveness in the global market, especially for European and American porcelain brands pursuing high-quality printing.
Certifications and Compliance
All products are certified with ISO 9001, CE and UL, meeting RoHS and REACH standards. The pad printing silicone is non-toxic, odorless and eco-friendly, complying with international porcelain and tableware safety regulations, suitable for food-contact porcelain printing when matched with our Food grade mold silicone.
Customization Options
We offer flexible customization to meet different needs: Hardness adjustment (18-28 Shore A), mixing ratio customization, viscosity adjustment, color customization for brand differentiation, and OEM/ODM services for custom pad sizes and performance parameters.
Production Process
Raw material inspection (high-quality Silicone raw materials + DuPont silicone pad for ceramic printing) → Precision formula mixing → Room-temperature vulcanization test → Quality testing (viscosity, hardness, shrinkage) → Vacuum degassing → Packaging → Final inspection. Strict QC procedures at each stage ensure stable product quality, with pre-production samples available for customer approval.
