RF4 RF-PO15 Multifunctional Silicone Pad With Storage Bracket

Every technician working on a repair bench knows how quickly small screws and chips disappear the moment you open a device. The RF4 RF-PO15 solves that exact problem while doubling as a heat-resistant work surface for soldering and hot air rework. Measuring 450x280mm, it gives you enough room to lay out a phone, tablet, or laptop board without running out of space mid-repair.The pad is made from high-quality silica gel with a honeycomb structure on the underside. This design keeps the surface flame retardant and stable even when you're running a hot air station at high temperature directly above the board. RF4 rates the pad to handle temperatures up to 500°C, so soldering, desoldering, and IC removal can happen straight on the mat without scorching or warping. If you've ever burned through a cheap mat during a tough IC change, this thickened build is meant to outlast that.Anti-slip texture on both the top and back keeps the pad in place on the bench, even when you're applying pressure with tweezers or a scraper. That same texture protects your soldering iron tip and prevents boards from sliding while you're working on a dead phone or a board that's hanging on logo. The surface is also anti-corrosion and resists weak acids and bases, so flux residue and cleaning agents won't eat into the mat over time.What sets the RF-PO15 apart from a plain silicone mat is the built-in storage bracket. Several hole locations across the pad let you park screws, IC chips, and small parts exactly where you took them from, which matters a lot when you're stripping down a board layer by layer and need to remember placement for reassembly. Instead of scattering parts across the bench or losing them in a drawer, everything stays visible and within reach.Cleaning is straightforward — a wipe with water and soap removes flux, solder residue, and grease without damaging the silicone. The material itself is non-toxic, so it's safe for long shifts at the bench without exposing you to harmful fumes when heated, unlike some low-grade rubber mats sold under the same category.For a repair shop or service center running multiple boards through the day, this pad becomes part of the core workflow: board goes on the mat, hot air or soldering iron does the rework, small parts sit in the storage holes, and the whole thing wipes clean before the next job. It fits naturally alongside your hot air station, soldering station, and BGA reballing kit, and works well as a permanent fixture on any repair bench handling phone, tablet, or laptop boards.
