The earliest printing materials used on shoe materials are water-based. Acrylic glue is used for general quality requirements,
and PU glue is used for higher requirements, because PU has better toughness and aging resistance than acrylic, which is easy
to crack and become brittle. So far, water-based is still the most used. Because silicone is softer, brighter, matte, and skin-feeling
than water-based, and silicone is more shiny than water-based in various gold, silver, reflective, pearlescent, etc., the market for
silicone is gradually expanding.
Project | Product | serial number | performance |
| High density 3D silicone | RG-2660M-3 | The thickness is increased quickly and the surface is smoother than ordinary thick plates. 30% faster and bluesign compliant. |
Matt Silicone | LS-273 | It has a good skin feel and feels as delicate and smooth as baby skin. | |
Glossy crystal silicone | RG-2781 | The surface is smooth and has a high glossiness. It can strongly reflect light, presenting a bright and dazzling effect. It also has fast defoaming and leveling speed and is not easy to delaminate. | |
Superstrength adhesion silicone | RG-1520AB | Super strong adhesion, good washability, especially suitable for primer printing of fabrics requiring strong adhesion or strong bonding with shoe materials, 1520A and 1520B, mixed at a ratio of 10:1. | |
| High density 3D silicone | RG-606# | Ordinary 3D high density screen printing silicone |
Matt Silicone | RG-0188A | ||
Glossy crystal silicone | RG-2780A | ||
Superstrength adhesion silicone | RG-2626AB | 2626A and 2626B, mixed at a ratio of 10:1, have strong bonding strength with shoe fabrics and good flatness | |
Additives | catalyst | RG-B90 | Add more than 5% to silica gel. |
Color paste | Silicone color paste | SI Series |

Material | High density 3D silicone | Glossy crystal silicone | Matt Silicone |
Screen printing silicone ink ratio | 100% | 100% | 100% |
Addition ratio of catalyst RG-B90 | the above 5% | the above 5% | the above 5% |
Note: If you add a small amount of catalyst, the drying will be slow. You can gradually increase the amount of catalyst,
but please note that the more catalyst you add, the longer the liquid silicone will last.
Select the appropriate catalyst ratio to ensure that the ratio is dry (the more you add, the faster it dries).
2. Mesh: within 250 mesh (less than 100T), commonly 120-150 mesh (45T-60T), use thick screen,
the thickness of the screen depends on the thickness of the pattern.
3. When the silicone is thicker or the silicone becomes thicker during printing,
you can add diluent RG-1080 to adjust the appropriate fluidity. The addition ratio is not limited and can be added as needed.
4. Suitable for manual printing and machine printing. When printing by machine,
you can add additional delay agent (1%-2%) to extend the use time of silicone.
Step 2: Print thickly:
Use 3D high-density silica gel (RG-2660M-3/RG-606#, Then add catalyst RG-B90, mix evenly,
then screen-print, and repeat printing to obtain sufficient thickness.
Step 3: Printing Color
Use 3D high-density silicone to mix silicone color paste. The amount of color paste added is determined according to the color depth.
Then add catalyst RG-B90. Stir well and then screen print. Repeat printing until enough color is obtained
Step 4: Covering:
Put the printed product in the oven and bake for 3 minutes to cure. The silicone will fully cure in 48 hours.
The curing after baking is only surface curing, not full curing.
The test data needs to be tested after 48 hours of full curing.
