Silicone pads, a variety of shapes yet sharing the same name, are widely used in the manufacturing industries of medium-sized industrial machinery, automotive electronics, and more. They not only offer features like shock absorption, anti-slip, collision resistance, and scratch prevention but also maintain their integrity even under long-term use. Below are four frequently asked questions about silicone pads; let's take a look!

What is a silicone pad?

Silicone pads, also known as anti-slip rubber pads, shock-absorbing silicone pads, and silicone foot pads, are made from environmentally friendly silicone rubber materials. They offer features such as anti-slip, wear-resistant, soft and weather-resistant, elastic, flame-retardant, and environmentally friendly and non-toxic. They are commonly used as cushioning foot pads for various electronic industrial machinery and equipment to protect critical components from accidental drops or wear. They are also widely employed in electronic devices, display shelves, industrial machinery, household appliances, hardware accessories, and plastic products.

How is the price of silicone pads calculated?

The price of silicone pads is determined by the specifications and materials used by the customer. For silicone pads used in industrial equipment, only ordinary silicone rubber material is required. However, silicone pads for food applications are not only complex in processing but also expensive in raw materials; the specific price of the pads depends on the size and process used by the customer.

How to Clean Silicone Pads?

Silicone pad cleaning can be done with dish soap or detergent, but prolonged use of detergent can cause surface damage or discoloration on the silicone. It's recommended to use a detergent with stable chemical composition, such as soap, and clean it by soaking in warm water with a cloth or brush.

How to Use Silicone Pads?

The rubber pads feature a double-sided adhesive tape with a removable release paper on the back, allowing for direct application by peeling off the paper and adhering the pad to the desired bonding location. Typically, there is a release characteristic between silicone and double-sided tape, so most manufacturers apply a layer of silicone adhesive to enhance adhesion between the pad and the tape.
