Silicone Rubber Keypads with Tailored Epoxy Coating

Production Process

In the typical surface protection and coating process for silicone rubber keypads, the Epoxy Resin Coating Keypad technique utilizes a blend of epoxy resin and a curing agent. This mixture is delicately applied to the surface of silicone keypads. After a specific period, the epoxy resin and curing agent naturally dry, creating a crystalline effect.

This epoxy coating method can also be applied to conductive rubber keypads, providing a tactile sensation akin to hard plastic. The key tops of epoxy-coated keypads showcase intricate crystalline patterns and offer outstanding transparency, resembling the appearance of rigid PC PMMA plastic keypad caps.

Epoxy Keypads, also referred to as Epoxy Coated Keyboards & Buttons, exemplify a specialized protective process applied to silicone rubber keypads. In this method, the keypad surface undergoes a meticulous epoxy resin coating, enhancing both durability and functionality. Rubber Keypads with Epoxy Coating offer exceptional abrasion resistance, ensuring resilience against exposure to chemicals and oils. In comparison to silicone rubber keypads with conventional button caps, epoxy coated silicone rubber keypads not only provide heightened flexibility but also significantly reduce production costs, making them a cost-effective choice for diverse applications.

Advantages of Epoxy Coating in Silicone Rubber Keyboards:

• Sophisticated Appearance: Epoxy-coated silicone rubber keypads feature intricate crystal patterns and transparent effects, mirroring the elegance of hard PC or PMMA plastic keycaps. This enhances their visual allure and user satisfaction.

• Cost Efficiency: In comparison to Plastic + Silicone Rubber (P+R) keypads, silicone epoxy keypads offer notable cost savings while delivering equivalent flexibility and functionality.

• Surface Protection: Epoxy resin technology not only enhances the aesthetics of silicone keypads but also provides robust protection, safeguarding their surface from damage. This method stands as a superior alternative to crafting custom keypads with plastic keycaps.

• Versatility: Silicone buttons protected by epoxy are waterproof, corrosion-resistant, and wear-resistant. Moreover, they boast decorative properties showcased through the crystal-clear epoxy effect, enhancing gloss and longevity. Consequently, epoxy-coated rubber keyboards find extensive use, ensuring both durability and aesthetic appeal across diverse applications.
