Boston Industrial Solutions Redesigns Siliart Website for Silicone Decorators

12 October 2026: Boston Industrial Solutions has announced a redesigned Siliart website for artists decorating silicone watchbands, bracelets and similar products. A company release published on 7 October 2026 describes the online store at Siliart.com as a dedicated purchasing resource, bringing silicone inks, solvents and supplies together for projects with different quantity requirements.

What can decorators buy on the Siliart website?

Siliart’s company information identifies the business as an authorised distributor of Boston Industrial Solutions silicone inks, adhesion promoters and printing supplies. The redesign focuses on artists working with silicone objects, rather than the fabric and leather applications covered in the manufacturer’s SilTex HD textile inks.

The Siliart product catalogue lists materials for colour filling alongside preparation and handling supplies:

• Siliart silicone ink-filling colours and a 175g ink-filling kit.
• LG Catalyst and Type SF solvent cleaner.
• Lint-free towels for cleaning work.
• Ink mixing sticks.

The catalogue also includes primers for glass, acrylic and metal. These listings make checking the intended surface important: a product sold through Siliart is not necessarily a treatment for silicone.

Why does the ink formulation matter?

Boston Industrial Solutions’ SiliArt colour-filling product guidance identifies engraved and debossed silicone as intended applications. Colour filling adds ink to recessed designs, helping decorators make lettering or artwork stand out on an existing silicone item.

The manufacturer’s instructions call for mixing the ink with catalyst and solvent. They recommend heat for drying because the colour filling will not air dry at room temperature. Decorators therefore need to consider preparation and curing as well as the ink colour; a simpler purchase does not remove those production steps.

For colour filling, the company gives a general mixing ratio of 10 parts ink, one part catalyst and 10 parts solvent by weight. It says to combine the ink and catalyst before adding solvent. These instructions describe the existing product’s use.

Boston’s wider portfolio includes XG rubber and foam inks for other flexible materials. Those applications should not be treated as evidence that one formulation suits every rubber or silicone product. Follow the instructions for the specific ink and substrate.

What has changed about purchasing?

Bonaventure Mutuku, chief operating officer of Boston Industrial Solutions, said the dedicated store aims to make purchasing easier and let artists choose quantities suited to their projects.

“Siliart gives artists a dedicated place to find exactly what they need, in quantities that work for their projects, without making the purchasing process complicated.”

The company also says the redesign simplifies checkout. Its announcement does not provide measured checkout times or customer-testing results, so that remains a company claim rather than a demonstrated performance improvement.

FAQs

Who is the redesigned store for?

The announcement targets artists and decorators personalising silicone products, including watchbands and bracelets. That differs from using silicone-based anti-slip textile printing inks on socks or gloves, where the print serves a different purpose.

Does the announcement introduce a new ink?

No. It announces a redesigned website and purchasing experience, not a new ink formulation. Boston Industrial Solutions separately provides product guidance for SiliArt colour-filling ink; decorators should use that information to check application requirements before ordering.
