Textile Printing Silicones

ROYALECHEM embossing silicones are high heat- and pressure-resistant RTV-2 mold silicones developed to apply embossed patterns to textile, synthetic leather, PVC, PU and similar surfaces. They offer ideal solutions for taking the negative of metal molds or for use as flexible molds on press lines. Thanks to high detail-reproduction capability, they transfer micro-patterns to the surface clearly and repeatably.

Application Areas

• Textile and fabric embossing presses

• Synthetic leather and leather surface embossing

• PVC & PU sheet patterning

• Rubber surface prints

• Roller-press and flat-press lines

• Decorative surface production

Technical Specifications

• High temperature resistance: 180–220 °C working range

• Low shrinkage: dimensional accuracy and stable mold

• High tear resistance: long mold life

• Flexibility: compatibility with press and roller applications

• High detail reproduction: clear and repeatable pattern transfer

System Type

Platinum-catalyzed RTV-2 systems stand out in embossing applications:

• High heat and press resistance

• Long mold life

• Low deformation

• Clear and detailed reproduction

Tin-catalyzed alternatives can be preferred for economical solutions.

Anti-Slip Silicones

Anti-slip silicone systems are applied to the textile surface as dots or lines to increase the friction coefficient. Thanks to their elastic, soft texture they do not compromise fabric comfort.

Main application areas:

• Anti-slip sole prints for socks

• Sports socks and pilates socks

• Anti-slip applications for underwear and bra straps

• Grip points for leggings and sportswear

• Gloves and occupational-safety textiles

Features:

• High elasticity and crack resistance

• Wash and abrasion resistance

• Strong adhesion to fabric

• Transparent or pigmented production

• Matte / glossy / embossed options

Medical Textile Silicones

Silicone prints used in medical and orthopedic textiles prevent slipping on skin-contact surfaces and provide a comfortable grip. Hypoallergenic, soft-textured formulations are preferred.

Application examples:

• Medical socks and compression stockings

• Orthosis and bandage fixation areas

• Medical corsets

• Prosthetic and support textiles

Technical advantages:

• Skin-friendly formula

• Flexible and breathable structure

• Long-term use durability

• Options compatible with sterilization processes

Anti-slip silicones | Medical applications | Sock soles | Logo & transfer printing

Textile printing silicones are special formulations developed for applications requiring elasticity, high adhesion and wash durability. Applied by direct printing or transfer onto the fabric surface, they provide non-slip grip, hold and a decorative embossed effect. They are widely used especially in sportswear, underwear, medical textiles and promotional products.

Application Methods

Screen printing: the most common method, providing high thickness and clarity.

Transfer printing: pre-made silicone transfers are applied with a press.

Dot printing: anti-slip sock and underwear applications.

Technical Support

The most suitable silicone type and hardness are determined by us according to the press type, temperature, pressure and pattern structure. Technical support is provided for sample work and process optimization.
