Product Overview

An adhesive silicone pad provides a molded rubber contact that can be located on a suitable surface through its backing. The bond face should remain protected until the assembly is ready for placement, because dust or handling residue can affect attachment before the pad is ever loaded.

ETOL can customize the structure, dimensions, hardness and color. Select the adhesive construction for the substrate and operating environment, including cleaning exposure. A 3M reference does not define a single backing grade, so the complete pad and adhesive combination should be developed for the intended surface.

Check the placement with the liner still attached, then prepare the bonding area and position the pad without touching the exposed adhesive. Follow the selected backing's application conditions before bringing the opposing part into contact. Avoid sliding that part across a freshly fitted pad. If an edge later lifts, inspect for contamination, incompatible surface finish or sideways loading instead of repeatedly pressing the same exposed adhesive back down.

Material options: Silicone. Custom formulation and color for the intended contact conditions.
Hardness selection: Silicone: 20–80 Shore A. Check the placement with the liner still attached, then prepare the bonding area and position the pad without touching the exposed adhesive.
Custom dimensions: ETOL can customize the structure, dimensions, hardness and color.
Fit & assembly: The bond face should remain protected until the assembly is ready for placement, because dust or handling residue can affect attachment before the pad is ever loaded.
Use & inspection: If an edge later lifts, inspect for contamination, incompatible surface finish or sideways loading instead of repeatedly pressing the same exposed adhesive back down.

Ordering this custom component

Can the shape be adjusted to my mating parts?

Yes. Show the receiving opening, contact surfaces and clearance limits. We can review the dimensions and retaining features around the intended fit.

Which details should be agreed before tooling?

Agree the critical dimensions, material, hardness, visible surfaces and sample requirements. Explain how the part is installed and which interfaces control its function.

Can a sample help define the replacement?

A sample can help explain the structure. Compare it with the assembly because wear, swelling or compression may have changed its original dimensions.

How is the quotation for this part determined?

The material, part geometry, tooling, quantity and finishing affect the quotation. Include the intended batch size and delivery destination when describing your requirements.
