Pad Printing Silicone Selection Guide Hongye Silicone Four Models

Choosing the right pad printing silicone model affects printing quality, pad life and efficiency. Hongye Silicone has four models for different scenarios.

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, most widely used for conventional scenarios. HY-912 high grade high tear model, 30 shore A, tear strength 25±2kN/m, for large area patterns and high frequency operations. HY-916 ultra soft low hardness model, only 14 shore A, elongation 570%, for irregular curved surfaces and precision patterns.

Select by product shape: flat or regular curved surfaces with large area choose HY-902 or HY-912 for good pad support. Irregular curved, concave convex or complex shapes choose HY-916 ultra soft for maximum surface conformity.

Select by pattern precision: ordinary text or LOGO all models work. Precision fine patterns or thin lines choose HY-916 for uniform ink pickup and rich detail transfer. Large area solid patterns choose HY-912 for high tear strength and longer pad life.

Select by surface material: hard plastic, metal, glass all models work. Soft rubber, PVC, sprayed or electroplated scratch sensitive surfaces choose HY-916 for gentle contact without scratching or indentations.

Select by usage frequency: small batch or occasional use HY-901 economy. Mass production or high frequency use HY-912 high tear for longer life. High elasticity and long continuous operation HY-916 ultra soft.
