Temperature and Contact Surface
Specify operating temperature, surface finish and whether grip, low marking or easy cleaning is the primary requirement.
DRAWING-BASED CUSTOM PARTS
Custom Silicone Pads
Heat-stable silicone pads cut for clean contact, grip, damping and surface protection in demanding assemblies.
Include temperature, contact surface, load and any cleaning requirement with your drawing for review.
Made for Your Application
Silicone pads are flat, discrete parts designed for contact rather than a continuous perimeter seal. They can be supplied smooth, textured or adhesive-backed for uses that need a cleanable, flexible and heat-tolerant interface.
Material approach
Silicone maintains soft flexibility in both cold and heat and can be made with a naturally grippy, non-marking surface.
Key features
- Heat-stable elastomer
- non-marking contact options
- custom textures
- transparent or coloured parts
- adhesive-backed placement.

Engineering Guide
Practical points to include when selecting foam and preparing a drawing for review.
Hardness and Pad Area
The selected hardness and contact area influence stability and deflection under load. Mark any critical footprint dimensions.
Texture and Cleanability
Texture can affect grip, cleanability and visual finish. Include the intended maintenance and contact environment.
Adhesive Retention
Where adhesive is required for placement, confirm the substrate and service conditions before selecting a construction.
Applications / Where It Fits
Silicone pad selection is driven by temperature, contact surface, required texture, load and the desired cleaning or handling behavior.
When This Part May Not Be the Best Choice
Fuel or petroleum-oil immersion, sharp abrasive sliding surfaces, or high structural loads concentrated on a small pad.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can silicone pads be used around elevated temperature?
Temperature suitability is determined by the selected silicone grade, load, exposure duration and application conditions.
How do I choose silicone pad hardness?
Specify the required deflection, contact area, surface behavior and load so a suitable construction can be reviewed.
Can silicone pads have a textured surface?
Texture requirements can be reviewed when grip, cleanability, marking and the mating surface are defined.
Are adhesive-backed silicone pads available?
Installation-retention adhesive can be considered when the target substrate and service conditions are known.
Can you make silicone pads with holes or slots?
Yes. Include all holes, cutouts and critical dimensions on the drawing.
Can silicone pads be supplied on sheets?
Individual parts, nested sheets and liner-retained formats can be reviewed around the assembly workflow.
Can you review a prototype?
Prototype feasibility depends on material availability, part geometry, quantity and required finishing.
Can you make silicone pads to my drawing?
Yes. CAD files, PDFs, dimensioned sketches and clear reference images can be reviewed for a custom quotation.
What information is needed for a quote?
Include the drawing, material preference if known, critical dimensions, quantity and the application environment.
How is a production route selected?
The manufacturing route is reviewed against the material, profile, critical requirements, quantity and delivery format rather than assumed from the part name.
