HY-902 is a high wear resistant Pad Printing Silicone engineered specifically for high volume high frequency automated pad printing production lines, and is the flagship model in the pad printing silicone series with the most excellent wear resistance. With 30 Shore A hardness, this model delivers excellent physical properties including tensile strength 4.0MPa, tear strength 24kN/m and elongation 430%, producing pad heads with high mechanical strength, excellent wear resistance and good resilience, capable of withstanding repeated compression and friction in high volume high frequency automated printing production. The pad head service life reaches 100,000 to 150,000 prints, significantly longer than economy grade models of 50,000 to 80,000 prints. Although the unit price is slightly higher than economy grade, the significantly longer pad head life results in lower comprehensive usage cost, making it the cost effective choice for high volume production customers.
The ink transfer performance is stable and excellent with uniform ink pickup and clean release, producing clear and complete patterns with full colors, meeting the high requirements for printing quality consistency and stability in high volume automated production. Excellent ink solvent resistance ensures the pad head is not easily eroded or swollen by solvents in printing inks, maintaining stable printing performance over the entire service life. Linear shrinkage ≤0.3% provides dimensional stability, ensuring highly consistent pad head dimensions and printing results in high volume production.
The 100:2 to 100:3 mixing ratio provides simple and consistent operation with low technical requirements for operators. With 30-40 minutes working time and 3-4 hours room temperature curing, production efficiency is high. The 35000mPa.s viscosity ensures fine texture and smooth pad head surfaces with moderate flowability, being both easy to pour into molds and not prone to sagging, suitable for manufacturing pad printing heads of various shapes and sizes.
This model is widely applied in cosmetic packaging, crafts and gifts, electronic products, stationery, daily necessities and other industries for high volume logo and pattern printing. For medium and large processing factories with automated pad printing production lines, customers with high daily printing volume, and customers with high requirements for pad head life and printing stability, HY-902 with excellent wear resistance and extra long pad head life helps customers reduce comprehensive usage cost, improve production efficiency and stabilize printing quality, making it the ideal choice for high volume automated production.

Detailed Application Scenarios
Cosmetic Packaging High Volume Printing
HY-902 high wear resistant pad printing silicone is widely used for logo, brand identification, pattern, text, capacity marking, ingredient marking printing on perfume bottles, lotion bottles, serum bottles, cream jars, lipstick tubes, mascara tubes, foundation bottles, makeup remover bottles, hand cream tubes, makeup brush handles, powder compacts, eyeshadow palettes, blush cases and various other cosmetic packaging products. The cosmetic industry features high end products, large batch sizes and high requirements for printing quality, and HY-902 high wear resistant grade perfectly meets these requirements.
Cosmetic packaging usually comes in various shapes including flat, slightly curved, small curved and cylindrical surfaces, made of materials including glass, PP, PE, PET, ABS, acrylic, metal and more, and HY-902 with 30 Shore A hardness, 430% elongation and good resilience can adapt to most flat and slightly curved surface printing needs. The ink transfer performance is stable and excellent with uniform pickup and clean release, producing clear and sharp logos and patterns with neat edges and full colors, meeting the high printing quality requirements of the cosmetic industry.
The cosmetic industry usually features high volume production, with an automated production line printing tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of pieces per day, requiring high wear resistance and long service life from pad heads. HY-902 high wear resistant grade with tensile strength 4.0MPa and tear strength 24kN/m provides pad head service life up to 100,000 to 150,000 prints, significantly longer than economy grade models, greatly reducing pad head replacement frequency and downtime for pad head changes, improving production efficiency. Although the unit price is slightly higher, the significantly longer pad head life results in lower comprehensive usage cost, making it the cost effective choice for high volume cosmetic production customers. Excellent ink solvent resistance ensures stable printing performance over the entire service life.

FAQ
Q1: Difference between HY-902 high wear grade and HY-901 economy grade?
A1: The core difference lies in wear resistance and pad head service life. HY-902 is high wear grade with tensile strength 4.0MPa, tear strength 24kN/m, elongation 430%, pad head service life up to 100,000 to 150,000 prints, suitable for high volume high frequency automated pad printing production lines. HY-901 is economy grade with tensile strength 3.8MPa, tear strength 22kN/m, elongation 380%, pad head service life approximately 50,000 to 80,000 prints, more affordable price, suitable for small and medium batch general printing. Choose HY-902 for high volume automated production with high requirements for pad head life and printing stability, as the slightly higher unit price is offset by longer pad head life resulting in lower comprehensive usage cost. Choose HY-901 for small and medium batch production or limited budget for higher cost performance. HY-902 also has better ink solvent resistance, suitable for scenarios using strong solvent inks.
Q2: Can pad heads made from HY-902 really last 100,000 to 150,000 prints? How to extend pad head life?
A2: Pad heads made from HY-902 high wear grade, under normal usage conditions, can indeed reach a service life of 100,000 to 150,000 prints, and the specific life is affected by multiple factors including printed product material, ink type, printing pressure, operation standardization and pad head maintenance. Under ideal conditions, the life can reach or even exceed 150,000 prints. Under poorer conditions, the life may be somewhat shortened, but usually can still reach more than 80,000 prints, much higher than economy grade models. To extend pad head life: do not apply excessive printing pressure, regularly clean pad head surfaces with lint free cloth and special cleaning agent, store pad heads in cool dry place when not in use, avoid contact with sharp objects, select appropriate pad head hardness and model based on ink type. Free samples available for testing before bulk ordering.
Q3: Why does the silicone not cure or remain sticky after curing?
A3: Usually several causes: inaccurate Part B ratio, always weigh accurately at 100:2 to 100:3. Uneven mixing especially at container bottom and walls, always scrape and stir thoroughly for 3-5 minutes. Contact with curing inhibiting substances such as tin, sulfur or amine containing materials, ensure clean tools and containers. Expired or improperly stored Part B, store sealed and use within shelf life. Check these causes one by one, or contact technical support for assistance.
