Silicone buttons are the main products in silicone products. The process of remote control buttons is complex and difficult to make.

Mainly used in TV, air conditioning, VCD, DVD and other home appliances and related electronic industries.

1、Silicone keyboard has environmental protection, non-toxic and tasteless, and good elasticity;

2、Wear resistance, high temperature resistance, no deformation and other characteristics, can be used for a long time;

3、Smooth appearance, feel strong, is a real green environmental protection products;

4、Can do monochrome, two-color, three-color and mixed with other colors;

5、The LOGO on the jewelry can be text, pattern or a combination of text and pattern.

The production process of silicone buttons

Silicon is a silicone rubber product produced by pressing vulcanization molding process with high temperature vulcanized rubber as the main raw material.

A finished silicone button needs to go through the following processes:

First, raw material preparation (also called rubber mixing, material preparation, etc.) : including raw rubber mixing, color matching, weight calculation of raw materials, etc.;

Second, vulcanization molding (also known as oil pressure molding) : the use of high pressure vulcanization equipment through high temperature vulcanization, so that silica gel raw materials into solid molding;

Third, the peak (also known as processing, burring, etc.) : the silicone products removed from the mold will be associated with some useless burring and hole chips, which need to be removed; At present, in the industry, this process is completely completed by hand, and some factories also use punches to complete;

Screen printing: This process is only used in some silicone keyboards with patterns on the surface, such as English letters and Arabic numerals on the silicone keyboard, in order to facilitate the user to operate the keys, often need to screen print the corresponding characters with the mobile phone keyboard at the corresponding position;

Surface treatment: surface treatment includes dust removal with an air gun;

6、Oil injection: silicone keyboard in the ordinary state is easy to absorb the dust in the air, and has a certain viscosity. Spray a thin layer of feel oil on the surface of the silicone key, which can prevent dust and ensure the feel;

7、Other: Other processes include some additional functions given by the merchant to the silicone keyboard, such as glue dropping, radium carving, P+R synthesis, optimized packaging, and other materials and parts assembly.
