Silicone
material 03
Art. Code 08 = red brown silicone
Antistatic: very good
Mechanical capacity: very good, considerably better than silicone
material 02
Main use: all purpose, also suitable for UV tampon printing
inks and half tone clichés.
Swelling behaviour: good
Suitable for storage: about one year (beyond = lesser hardness
i.e. the tampon becomes softer)

Antistatic: optimal, Hundred-fold less electrostatic charge than
silicone material 03.
Mechanical capacity: very good, equal to silicone material 03
Main use: universal
Swelling behaviour: good
Suitable for storage: about one year (beyond = lesser hardness
i.e. the tampon becomes softer)
Available in hardness (Shore-A): 1, 3, 6, 12, 18
Note: most favourable silicone material with excellent
price-performance ratio!

Industrial manufacturing
according to binding quality standards at TAMPOPRINT AG.
The material properties of silicone rubber are very suitable
for the manufacturing of printing tampons.
The special contrary material characteristics, namely the pick
up of the tampon printing ink from the cliché and the subsequent
application onto the printing part can be attributed to the extraordinary
separation qualities.
Especially noteworthy are its separation qualities of the surface
against inorganic and organic materials, as well as its permanent
elasticity, its high moulding accuracy, as well as its chemical
resistance against light acid and alkaline.

the tampon becomes softer)
Deliverable in hardness (Shore-A):
6, 12, 18 |
Silicone
material 01
Art. Code 05 = yellow silicone
Antistatic: good
Mechanical capacity: good
Main use: suitable for special applications only
Swelling behaviour: good

| Silicone material |
Antistatic properties |
Mechanical capacity: |
The quality of the silicone material
from which the tampons are made, determines the various properties
of the tampons.
|
The antistatic properties show how
well the silicone material is resistant to electrostatic charge.
Anti static tampons can eliminate smudgy ink or ink pulling strands.
|
The tampon can break down during
rolling over sharp edges. Depending on the silicone material
this can happen sooner or later. Swelling behaviour during storage:
Please see crash test. |
| Storing characteristics |
Swelling behaviour |
Super-dry
"ST" version |
| Storing characteristics show a period of time
after which a reduction of hardness (Shore-A) occurs and the
surface of the tampon becomes brittle. |
The swelling behaviour depends on the ink type
or thinner type being used. All tampon materials are subjected
to swelling because they absorb thinner.
TIP:
The lower the tendency is to swell, the better the transmission of the print
image.

Silicone oil is
encapsulated - no silicone oil on your printing part. Ideal for coating
removal via laser - after printing of lacquer by tampon printing.
No problems with colour gradient when printing parts are lacquered
subsequently. Transfer of water-based emulsions/inks in tampon printing
process possible. Almost residue-free tampon printing, (e.g. on electronic
components). |
