Transfer printing liquid silicone: characteristics and applications

Hits: 1176 img

Transfer printing liquid silicone is a granular porous silica hydrate prepared by washing and drying sodium silicate with acid. It is non-toxic, odorless, chemically stable, and insoluble in water and any solvent. It is mainly used as a desiccant, as well as an adsorbent in column chromatography and thin layer chromatography. At the same time, transfer printing liquid silicone is widely used in various industrial fields, such as printing irregular patterns on plastic toys, electroplated products, electronic toys, trademarks, communication equipment, craft gifts, stationery, and more.

Transfer printing liquid silicone has excellent durability and abrasion resistance, no deformation, no oil leakage, and good ink transfer performance, which can ensure the clarity and beauty of printed patterns. It also has excellent electrical insulation performance and chemical stability, as well as good high-temperature and acid alkali resistance, suitable for printing needs in various high-temperature environments.

Before using transfer printing liquid silicone, the mold needs to be cleaned and coated with a layer of release agent. The ratio of transfer printing liquid silicone to silicone oil depends on the size and complexity of the pattern area. Adding too much silicone oil can damage the molecular weight of the silicone and cause the glue head to be too soft. The amount of curing agent added is generally controlled at 2% -3% of the total weight of silicone and silicone oil. Too much or too little can affect the performance of the adhesive head. The mixed silicone needs to be vacuum treated to eliminate bubbles and ensure the quality of the adhesive head.

During the operation, it is necessary to avoid impurities from entering to avoid affecting the quality of the adhesive head. At the same time, it is necessary to control the amount of curing agent added to ensure that the adhesive head has good elasticity and tear resistance. In addition, concentration is required during operation to avoid causing safety accidents. Different types of transfer printing silicone molds should not be mixed to avoid affecting the curing of silicone.
