SOLLYD® Rope Dipping Silicone Ink

Professional Liquid Silicone Solution for Cord End Dipping

SOLLYD® RG-606-1 Rope Dipping Silicone Ink is a specially formulated liquid silicone coating material developed for the production of silicone-dipped drawstrings, shoelace tips, and textile cord ends.

Designed for garment accessory and cord manufacturers, our silicone dipping system allows manufacturers to create customized cord ends with a smooth, uniform appearance, adjustable coating thickness, and a wide range of color options.

Unlike conventional separate plastic aglets, the silicone dipping process creates a coated finish directly on the cord end, offering a more integrated appearance for modern apparel and accessory designs.

Whether you are producing hoodie drawstrings, sportswear cords, shoelaces, or outdoor garment accessories, SOLLYD provides a silicone dipping solution for different design and production requirements.

Glossy and Matte Silicone Finishes

SOLLYD offers a complete silicone dipping system for both glossy and matte cord end applications.

Glossy Finish

The glossy finish is achieved through two dipping stages: a clear silicone base coat followed by a colored silicone coat. RG-606-1 is used for both layers, creating a smooth, colorful and glossy appearance.

Matte Finish

For applications requiring a more understated appearance, SOLLYD RG-0188A-Z Matte Dipping Silicone can be applied as an additional topcoat over the colored silicone layer.

This creates a soft-looking, non-reflective matte finish suitable for fashion, sportswear and outdoor apparel accessories.

Key Features and Benefits

• Glossy and Matte Finish Options: Achieve two different surface effects using a coordinated silicone dipping system.

• Customizable Colors: Mix with compatible silicone pigment paste to achieve different colors and color depths.

• Adjustable Coating Thickness: Control coating thickness by adjusting the thinner ratio and number of dipping cycles.

• Improved Interlayer Adhesion: The clear silicone base coat helps the subsequent colored layer adhere to the cord surface.

• Smooth and Uniform Appearance: Controlled dipping and withdrawal help achieve a consistent coating with reduced unevenness.

• Integrated Cord End Design: Form a silicone-coated finish directly on the cord instead of attaching a separate plastic tip.

• Low-Temperature Baking Process: Recommended baking conditions are approximately 80°C for 5–8 minutes per designated baking stage, subject to material and process requirements.

• Flexible Production Process: Suitable for initial sample development and subsequent batch production after process validation.

Typical Applications

SOLLYD Rope Dipping Silicone Ink can be considered for a variety of textile cord and garment accessory applications:

• Hoodie and sweatshirt drawstring tips

• Shoelace tips and silicone aglets

• Sportswear and activewear drawcords

• Outdoor jacket and garment drawstrings

SOLLYD provides a coordinated range of materials for the rope dipping process:

How to Apply Rope Dipping Silicone Ink

Step 1: Clear Silicone Base Coat

Mix RG-606-1 with the recommended curing agent and silicone thinner. Dip the cord end vertically into the mixture and withdraw it slowly at a consistent speed.

Allow the coating to surface-dry, then bake at approximately 80°C for 5–8 minutes.

Step 2: Colored Silicone Coating

Mix RG-606-1 with the desired silicone pigment paste, curing agent and silicone thinner.

Dip the pre-coated cord end into the colored silicone mixture. Repeat the dipping process as needed to achieve the required color and coating thickness, allowing the surface to dry between applications.

After the final dipping cycle, bake at approximately 80°C for 5–8 minutes.

The glossy colored cord end is now complete.

Step 3: Optional Matte Silicone Topcoat

For a matte finish, prepare RG-0188A-Z with the recommended curing agent and compatible matte silicone thinner.

Dip the glossy colored cord end into the matte silicone mixture. Allow it to stand for approximately one hour before baking at approximately 80°C for 5–8 minutes.

The finished cord end will have a refined matte appearance.
