HY-916 Pad Printing Silicone | High Resilience Fast Cure Grade | Quick Turnaround Pad Making Silicone Rubber

HY-916 is a high resilience, fast cure condensation-type pad printing silicone from HYC-Silicone's HY-9 series. Specially formulated for pad printing workshops with tight deadlines and fast-paced production, this grade delivers significantly accelerated curing speed and excellent rebound resilience while maintaining good wear resistance — making pad making more efficient and helping factories deliver orders faster.

For printing shops that frequently handle rush orders and last-minute jobs, the fast cure feature of HY-916 means pads can be made and put into production on the same day, no need to wait overnight — dramatically shortening production preparation time and improving overall efficiency.

Key Features

1. Fast Curing Speed: Initial cure in only 1-2 hours at room temperature, reaches usable strength in 4-6 hours, greatly shortens pad making cycle

2. Excellent Rebound Resilience: Stable molecular structure, fast elastic recovery, quickly regains shape after repeated pressing

3. Good Wear Resistance: High strength formula, long pad service life, excellent cost performance

4. Great Ink Transfer: Balanced ink pick-up and release, sharp and uniform pattern transfer

5. No Oil Bleeding: Stable and reliable formula, no silicone oil migration under normal operating conditions

6. Easy to Use: Room temperature vulcanization, simply mix base with curing agent and pour

7. High Efficiency: Fast cure formula helps rush orders and tight deadlines, shortens delivery cycles

• Plastic and metal printing — surface logos, product codes, specification marks

• Promotional gift printing — pen printing, keychains, giveaway logos

• Rush order scenarios — fast pad making, quick production, rapid delivery

How to Use

1. Prepare the pad mold, ensure surface is clean and smooth

2. Weigh base and curing agent accurately at the recommended ratio

3. Mix thoroughly for 2-3 minutes, scrape sides and bottom of container to ensure uniform mixture

4. Degas under vacuum for 3-5 minutes to remove air bubbles

5. Pour slowly into the mold to avoid creating new bubbles

6. Let cure at room temperature; usable after 4-6 hours, fully cured in 12 hours

7. Demold after full cure and trim edges before use

Notes

• Curing agent must be accurately measured — too much or too little will affect pad performance

• Keep working environment clean to avoid dust and impurities

• Seal containers tightly after use to prevent moisture absorption

• Curing agent is hygroscopic — replace cap immediately after use

• Silicone oil can adjust hardness; recommended addition is under 5%
