Epoxy Coated Silicone Rubber Keypads
Epoxy-coated keypads, also known as Epoxy Coated Keyboards & Buttons, are silicone rubber keypads that have been meticulously coated with epoxy silicone. This specialized surface protection method enhances both the durability and functionality of the keypads, providing exceptional abrasion resistance and the ability to withstand exposure to chemicals and oils. The resulting surface is visually appealing and highly transparent, making these keypads an excellent alternative to plastic button covers. Epoxy-coated silicone rubber keypads are not only more flexible but also more cost-effective compared to traditional silicone rubber keypads with button caps. They are an ideal choice for a wide range of applications.
Application Process
The process of applying an epoxy coating to silicone rubber keypads involves a detailed method where a mixture of epoxy resin and curing agents is meticulously applied to the keypad surfaces. This mixture is then left to dry naturally over a specific period, resulting in a crystalline-like finish. This technique can also be used on conductive rubber keypads, providing a tactile feel akin to rigid plastic. The key tops of epoxy-coated keypads feature an intricate crystalline appearance and offer exceptional transparency, resembling the look of hard PC or PMMA plastic keypad caps.
Benefits
Elegant Aesthetics
Epoxy-coated silicone keyboards boast a gorgeous crystalline aesthetic and clear effect, akin to hard PC or PMMA plastic keycaps. This enhances their visual appeal and elevates the user experience.
Cost-Effectiveness
Silicone epoxy keyboards offer significant cost advantages over plastic + silicone rubber (P+R) keyboards while delivering equivalent flexibility and functionality. This makes them a budget-friendly option without compromising on quality.
Surface Protection
Epoxy technology not only enhances the appearance of silicone keyboards but also protects their surface from damage. This method serves as a superior alternative to producing custom keyboards with plastic keycaps.
Versatile Features
Epoxy-coated silicone keys come with a range of versatile features:
- Waterproof: The coating ensures that the keypads are resistant to water, making them suitable for use in various environments.
- Corrosion Resistant: These keypads can withstand exposure to corrosive substances, ensuring longevity.
- Wear Resistant: The durability of the epoxy coating ensures that the keypads remain intact even with frequent use.
- Decorative: The crystal clear effect of the epoxy resin enhances the gloss and durability of the keyboard, adding to its decorative appeal.
