Detailed Application Scenarios

Electronic Product Housing Pad Printing In electronics industry, mobile phone cases, earphone cases, charger housings and power banks usually have irregular curved surfaces and fine LOGO patterns with sprayed or electroplated surfaces that are easily scratched. HY-916 ultra soft pads with only 14 degree hardness gently conform to curved surfaces without scratching, while ensuring complete transfer of fine LOGO patterns. Widely used in electronics OEM factories.

Toy and Gift Surface Pad Printing Toy and gift industry has diverse product shapes and complex patterns, many using soft rubber or PVC materials prone to indentations. HY-916 ultra soft pads adapt to various irregular shapes including spherical, curved and concave convex surfaces with complete pattern transfer. Low hardness pads do not leave indentations, ensuring product appearance quality. Suitable for anime figures, children toys, promotional gifts and handicrafts.

Application and Operation Instructions

1. Preparation: Clean mold surface, ensure no oil or dust, apply small amount of release agent
2. Weighing: Weigh part A and curing agent in ratio 100:2 to 100:3 with electronic scale
3. Mixing: Add curing agent to part A, stir slowly clockwise for 3 to 5 minutes, avoid bubbles
4. Degassing: Vacuum degas mixed silicone for 2 to 3 minutes until bubbles eliminated
5. Pouring: Slowly pour degassed silicone into mold, avoid new bubbles, stand at room temperature
6. Demolding: Cure 3 to 4 hours at room temperature, demold after fully cured, best after 24 hours

Selection Guide

• HY-901: Economy entry model, 30 shore A, cost effective, for ordinary flat patterns and budget limited customers • HY-902: Mid range balanced model, 30 shore A, good comprehensive performance, for most conventional scenarios, most widely used • HY-912: High grade high tear model, 30 shore A, highest tear strength, for large area patterns and high frequency operations • HY-916: Ultra soft low hardness model, 14 shore A, highest elongation, for irregular curved surfaces, precision patterns and scratch sensitive products

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: HY-916 has low hardness, will pads break easily? A: Although low hardness, tear strength reaches 25±2kN/m and elongation 570%, pads recover quickly after repeated compression, no permanent deformation, service life guaranteed.

Q: Is HY-916 suitable for large area patterns? A: HY-916 is more suitable for irregular curved surfaces and precision fine patterns. For large area flat patterns, HY-912 high tear model is recommended for better pad support.

Q: What causes sticky surface after curing? A: May be insufficient curing agent or uneven mixing, or high environmental humidity. Ensure ratio 100:2 to 100:3, mix evenly, operate in dry environment.
