Silicone Patches

Silicone is an elastomer- (rubber-like material). Silicone is a polymer, containing silicon together with carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. Silicone rubbers are widely used, and there are multiple formulations. Silicone rubbers are often one- or two-part polymers, and may contain fillers to improve properties or reduce cost. Silicone rubber is generally non-reactive, stable, and resistant to extreme environments and temperatures from -55 °C to +300 °C while still maintaining its useful properties.

Silicone can also come in a transfer. Raised silicone on a clear film like a heat transfer.

Silicone patches stand out due to their three-dimensional design and texture. They are created by molding silicone into specific shapes, allowing for intricate details and vibrant colors. These patches are known for their resistance to wear and tear, making them suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications.

There are many advantages to Silicone patches, including: 

• Durability: They are resistant to fading, cracking and damage from exposure to harsh weather conditions. 
• Customization: Silicone patches offer endless design possibilities, including intricate details and vibrant colors. 
• Tactile Appeal: The 3D texture of these patches enhances their visual appeal and touch. 
• Versatility: They can be used in various applications, from military uniforms to promotional merchandise. 

Our custom Silicone patches can be used in a wide range of industries, including: 

• Military: Used for unit insignias, morale patches, and identification. 
• Branding: Companies use them on uniforms, backpacks, and merchandise. 
• Outdoor Gear: Often added to camping equipment, backpacks, and tactical clothing. 
• Sports: Sport teams and clubs use them on uniforms and equipment. 
• Fashion: High-end fashion brands use Silicone patches for unique embellishments. 

Silicone patches are typically waterproof which means they can withstand exposure to moisture without significant damage. Many custom Siliconepatches are designed with additional waterproofing features, such as sealed edges or a protective layer over the design. These measures help prevent water from seeping into the patch and potentially causing damage to the underlying fabric or design. 

While Silicone patches are generally water-resistant, they may not be completely waterproof. For example extended exposure to water or submersion could eventually lead to water penetration if there are gaps or vulnerabilities in the patch’s structure. 

The level of waterproofing can also depend on how the PVC patch is attached or incorporated into an item. For example, if a patch is sewn onto a garment, there may be tiny puncture holes in the fabric that could allow water to pass through. 

To maintain the water-resistant properties of custom Silicone patches, it’s essential to follow care instructions provided, avoid exposing them to harsh chemicals, excessive heat or prolonged submersion in water.
