Silicone KeypadBeyond their common direct use, silicone buttons can also serve as under-lay switches, like in our everyday devices such as smartphones, keyboards, and car control buttons. On the surface, they may seem absent, but in reality, there's an under-laid silicone button beneath each keycap. After reading this article, do you still think silicone buttons are becoming obsolete? As touch screen technology continues to evolve and mature, many believe it will replace traditional silicone buttons, as touch screens can perform the same functions as buttons. However, that's not the case. Silicone buttons still have a significant room for growth and will persist for the long term. Will touch screens render silicone buttons obsolete?
After silk-screening the key characters, high-purity epoxy resin is dripped onto the silicone key surface. After a period of time, it forms a crystal block effect. The characters protected by the resin are almost impossible to be worn off, and the resin also prevents surface dirt, making it more aesthetically pleasing. However, the process is complex and costly, and is commonly used for industrial key buttons to effectively avoid erosion from sweat stains and wear caused by frequent use.
Silicone KeypadStill a great product, silicone buttons are indispensable for various handheld terminals, cipher machines, and barcode scanners. Compared to the expensive touchscreens, silicone buttons offer a strong price advantage, perfectly embodying the phrase "affordable yet good quality." Beyond the price advantage, the diversity of silicone buttons is also a strength. Most customer needs can be met through custom mold-making. Whether it's conductivity, wear resistance, water resistance, or character printing, silicone products can easily achieve these requirements.
Silicone button switches are one of the silicone products we encounter daily. They are commonly used in various remote control panels. Silicone buttons can be used for 3-5 years under normal conditions and withstand tens of thousands of taps. However, the reason we have to replace silicone buttons is the wear and unclearness of the surface characters, which leads to unnecessary损耗. How can we protect the surface characters of silicone buttons?
One, surface spraying of PU ink on the key pad.
After the silk-screening of silicone keypad is completed, a layer of PU ink is sprayed on the surface to form a protective coating. This protective layer effectively safeguards the characters, extending their lifespan. In addition to protecting the characters, the PU ink significantly enhances the tactile feel, offering a more comfortable user experience, hence it is also referred to as "touch oil."
Second, key pad silicone.
