Print Pads


Silastic® P-1 RTV Silicone Rubber is an addition-cure (platinum-cure) mold making rubber that has been formulated for print pad applications and provides the print pad manufacturer the opportunity to formulate a range of products with varying softness, surface characteristics and color.

This flexibility is obtained by adding 200® Fluid, 50 cSt from Dow Corning and/or print paste colorants. Silastic® P-1 can be modified with the addition of 200 Fluid, 50 cSt., to lower the durometer to 45 Shore 00.

An ideal companion product is Dow Corning® HS IV RTV Silicone Rubber. This condensation cure (tin-cure) mold making rubber has an initial durometer of 50 Shore 00 and with the addition of 200 Fluid, 50 cSt., its durometer can be reduced to 20-25 Shore 00.

Information in the Product Finder will help guide your selection. The final decision on products and additives can often be made only after practical tests.
