Custom Silicone Pads
Flexisil supports custom molded silicone pads for OEM components that need cushioning, contact protection or a fitted support surface. Start with the pad drawing or reference sample, the surfaces it contacts and the quantity required; material, attachment and acceptance requirements are reviewed for the individual project.

Specify a custom silicone pad for your assembly
- A cushioning pad supports or separates mating surfaces; identify where the part is compressed, retained or exposed during normal use.
- A silicone rubber pad can include shaped contact faces, holes or locating features. Mark these on the drawing rather than relying on a product photograph.
- Thermal interface pads and pad-printing transfer pads require different material and functional specifications. State that requirement explicitly so feasibility can be checked rather than assuming a standard cushioning pad will work.
Dimensions and contact surfaces
- State length, width, thickness, units and any critical fit dimensions.
- Identify flat areas, ribs, holes, recesses and mating parts on the drawing.
- Describe how the pad is held in place; request any adhesive or attachment requirements separately.
Use conditions and sample checks
- Describe the object being supported, the contact surfaces and whether compression occurs in use.
- Provide the target hardness and test scale if specified, plus appearance and color requirements.
- Check the sample in the intended assembly and agree on fit, appearance and any functional evaluation before production.
Packing and repeat orders
- Specify individual or bulk packing, labeling and batch identification needs.
- Retain the approved drawing revision and sample reference for repeat-order comparison.
Buyer questions
Can a pad be quoted from a photo?
A photo can explain the application, but dimensions, quantity, material expectations and acceptance requirements are needed for a useful quotation.
Is there a standard hardness for every silicone pad?
No single value is specified here. Send the intended use and any target scale, value, tolerance and agreed test method for review.
What affects a custom silicone pad quotation?
The drawing, geometry, material requirements, quantity, tooling, sample checks and packing scope affect the quotation. Send the same specification when comparing suppliers.
