silicone material – four to choice

Silicone material 03
Art. Code 08 = red brown silicone

Antistatic: very good
Mechanical capacity: very good, considerably better than silicone material 02
Main use: all purpose, also suitable for UV pad printing inks and half tone clichés.
Swelling behaviour: good
Suitable for storage: about one year (beyond = lesser hardness i.e. the pad becomes softer)
Available in hardness (Shore-A): 1, 2, 6, 12, 18

Silicone material "03ST" - super dry (PDF)
Silicone material "03H" - hightech (PDF)
Tampon printing machine with less force of pressure needed.
FDA - Conformity (PDF)

Silicone material 04
Art. Code 07 = light blue silicone

Antistatic: optimal, Hundred-fold less electrostatic charge than silicone material 03.
Mechanical capacity: very good, equal to silicone material 03
Main use: universal
Swelling behaviour: good
Suitable for storage: about one year (beyond = lesser hardness i.e. the pad becomes softer)
Available in hardness (Shore-A): 1, 2, 6, 12, 18
Note: most favourable silicone material with excellent price-performance ratio!

Silicone material "04ST" - super dry (PDF)

Industrial manufacturing according to binding quality standards at TAMPOPRINT AG.

The material properties of silicone rubber are very suitable for the manufacturing of printing pads.

The special contrary material characteristics, namely the pick up of the pad printing ink from the cliché and the subsequent application onto the printing part can be attributed to the extraordinary separation qualities.

Especially noteworthy are its separation qualities of the surface against inorganic and organic materials, as well as its permanent elasticity, its high moulding accuracy, as well as its chemical resistance against light acid and alkaline.

Silicone material 02
Art. Code 06 = white silicone

Antistatic: good
Mechanical capacity: good
Main use: optical industry, easy to clean, finest printing images with line graphics are transmittable
Swelling behaviour: very good
Suitable for storage: max. 3 month (beyond = lesser hardness i.e. the pad becomes softer)
Deliverable in hardness (Shore-A): 6, 12, 18
Silicone material 01
Art. Code 05 = yellow silicone

Antistatic: good
Mechanical capacity: good
Main use: suitable for special applications only
Swelling behaviour: good
Suitable for storage: max. 3 month (beyond = lesser hardness i.e. the pad is softer)
Deliverable in hardness (Shore-A): 1, 2, 6, 12
Silicone material Antistatic properties Mechanical capacity:
The quality of the silicone material from which the pads are made, determines the various properties of the pads. The antistatic properties show how well the silicone material is resistant to electrostatic charge. Anti static pads can eliminate smudgy ink or ink pulling strands.
The pad can break down during rolling over sharp edges. Depending on the silicone material this can happen sooner or later. Swelling behaviour during storage: Please see crash test.
Storing characteristics Swelling behaviour Super-dry version "ST"
Storing characteristics show a period of time after which a reduction of hardness (Shore-A) occurs and the surface of the pad becomes brittle.

The swelling behaviour depends on the ink type or thinner type being used. All pad materials are subjected to swelling because they absorb thinner.
TIP:
The lower the tendency is to swell, the better the transmission of the print image.

Silicone oil is encapsulated - no silicone oil on your printing part. Ideal for coating removal via laser - after printing of lacquer by pad printing. No problems with colour gradient when printing parts are lacquered subsequently. Transfer of water-based emulsions/inks in pad printing process possible. Almost residue-free pad printing, (e.g. on electronic components).
