The types of machine-printed silk-screen silicone can be mainly divided according to their composition and characteristics. The following is a detailed introduction to the types of machine-printed silk-screen silicone:
1. Classification by composition
Single-component silicone
Characteristics: Its vulcanization reaction depends on contact with moisture in the air, so attention should be paid to humidity conditions during storage and use, and the storage time is usually short.
Application: Suitable for some printing scenarios that do not require particularly strict vulcanization speed and need to simplify the operation process.
Two-component silicone
Characteristics: It consists of two components, A and B, A is usually transparent silicone, and B is a curing agent. A catalyst (such as platinum) is required to perform the vulcanization reaction at a specific temperature, and the molding temperature is approximately between 80 and 150°C. Two-component silicone has higher strength and stability, and the curing time is controllable.
Application: Widely used in occasions that require high strength, high stability and fine printing, such as the printing of products such as anti-slip socks and anti-slip yoga mats.
2. Classification by characteristics
Machine-printed rounded corner silicone
Characteristics: The corners of printed products are rounded, with a soft visual effect and feel.
Application: Suitable for printing products that require rounded corners, such as the printing of certain decorations or children's products.
Machine-printed right-angle silicone
Features: The corners of the printed products are right-angled, with clear lines and sharp edges.
Application: Suitable for printing products that require right-angle effects, such as the printing of electronic product shells or packaging boxes.
Machine-printed matte silicone
Features: The printed surface presents a matte effect, with a low-key and calm visual effect.
Application: Suitable for printing products that require a matte effect, such as the printing of packaging or promotional materials for certain high-end brands.
Machine-printed glossy silicone
Features: The printed surface is bright and smooth, with a mirror-like reflection effect.
Application: Suitable for printing products that require a glossy effect, such as the printing of fashion clothing or accessories.
In addition, machine-printed silk-screen silicone can also be divided according to other characteristics, such as high-temperature resistant silicone, low-temperature resistant silicone, food-grade silicone, etc., to meet the needs of different application scenarios.
In summary, there are many types of machine-printed silk-screen silicone, and when choosing, it is necessary to make a comprehensive consideration based on specific printing needs, product characteristics and cost considerations.
