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 advantage
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.

Manufacturing & Finish Options
Production process
Die cutting, waterjet cutting, CNC knife cutting, laser cutting and adhesive lamination
Manufacturing notes
Texture and pad area are selected around friction, cleanability and the amount of deflection permitted in service.
Adhesive options
High-temperature acrylic PSA, silicone PSA, removable PSA or no adhesive.
Surface options
Smooth, matte, ribbed, dot texture, translucent, coloured or fabric-reinforced silicone.
Where It Fits
Best for
- Hot equipment feet, kitchen-appliance contact points, electronics bumpers, cleanable protective pads, glass-contact buffers and anti-slip interfaces.
Common industries
- Appliances, electronics, food equipment, laboratory equipment, consumer goods, lighting and automation.
Consider another option when
Fuel or petroleum-oil immersion, sharp abrasive sliding surfaces, or high structural loads concentrated on a small pad.

Design & Engineering Notes
Design guidelines
Use a broad contact area for stable support; specify whether the exposed face needs grip, low marking or easy cleaning.
Engineering notes
Silicone is usually chosen for thermal flexibility, not high abrasion resistance; use a material trial if the pad will slide repeatedly.
Selection Guide
Choose silicone for temperature stability and cleanability, EVA for economical cushioning, and EPDM rubber for weather-exposed general equipment feet.
Material comparison
Silicone pads withstand heat better than EVA and most general rubbers, while rubber pads usually offer higher abrasion resistance and felt gives lower-friction furniture glide.
Standards & requirements
Customer drawing, compound data sheet and agreed temperature, appearance or load-test criteria.
Drawing Requirements
PDF, DXF, DWG, STEP, AI, CAD screenshots and dimensioned sketches can be reviewed. Don’t have a CAD drawing? A dimensioned PDF, sketch or clear image may be sufficient for an initial review.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can silicone pads be used under warm appliances?
High-temperature silicone is commonly used for heat-tolerant contact, but verify actual base temperature and load with the selected grade.
Are silicone pads naturally non-slip?
Many silicone surfaces provide useful grip; texture and compound hardness can be adjusted for the mating surface.
Can pads be made transparent or coloured?
Yes. Translucent, clear-look and coloured silicone options can be cut into custom profiles.
Is food-grade silicone assumed for every silicone pad?
No. Any food-contact requirement must be specified and supported by the chosen material grade documentation.
