912 Pad Printing Silicone is a general-purpose wear-resistant two-component RTV-2 silicone rubber designed for everyday pad printing production. With a balanced hardness of 28±2 Shore A, excellent tensile and tear strength, and stable ink transfer performance, the 912 is the workhorse choice for most standard printing applications. It delivers consistent, sharp prints on flat and small-curvature surfaces while offering a long service life, making it ideal for high-volume daily production across multiple industries.
Key Features
Balanced Hardness, Versatile Performance — At 28±2 Shore A, the pad offers optimal contact for flat and small-curvature products, suitable for a wide range of printing scenarios.
High Wear Resistance, Long Service Life — Excellent tensile and tear strength ensure the pad withstands tens of thousands of pressing cycles without damage, reducing replacement frequency and downtime.
Stable Ink Pick-up and Release — Fine, impurity-free texture guarantees consistent ink transfer, producing sharp, clear patterns with no ghosting or broken lines. 
Good Fluidity, Easy to Process — Low viscosity makes pouring and degassing straightforward, producing fully formed pads with no porosity or defects.
Zero Shrinkage, Dimensionally Stable — Cured pads maintain their shape precisely, ensuring print accuracy over long production runs.
Multiple Colors Available — Offered in red, yellow, white, and green to suit different production preferences.
Applications
Electronic product housings and communication device logos
Plastic toys and PVC toy surface printing
Stationery, office supplies, and promotional gifts
Hardware and electroplated product marking
Ceramic and glass small-pattern decals
Trademarks, labels, and brand identification printing
Automotive parts and small accessory printing
Operating Instructions
Clean the pad mold thoroughly, apply release agent evenly, and place on a flat, stable surface.
Weigh component A and the curing agent at the specified ratio. Stir component A well first, then add the curing agent and mix thoroughly.
Pour the mixed silicone slowly into the mold to avoid trapping air bubbles; vacuum degassing is recommended for best results.
Cover with a board and allow to cure at room temperature for 2–4 hours before demolding.
Note: Adding silicone oil is generally not recommended for the 912, as it may reduce wear resistance.
