Production Process:

1. Material Selection

The process begins with choosing high-quality silicone rubber, which provides flexibility, durability, and a reliable tactile response for the keyboard.

2. Mold Design and Preparation

A custom mold is created for the keyboard, ensuring it matches the desired layout and design specifications. This step includes designing the silicone membrane to fit over the base and ensuring the appropriate alignment for keys.

3. Silicone Molding

The silicone rubber is then placed into the mold and compressed using compression molding process. The molding step shapes the silicone material into the desired form, creating the keyboard’s main structure.

4. Silk Screening

Once the silicone component is molded, it undergoes the silk screen printing process. This step involves applying ink or other materials to the surface of the silicone keys to create the labeling, characters, and icons. High precision is required to ensure the proper alignment and clarity of the print.

5. Curing and Drying

After the silk screen printing, the printed silicone keyboard is placed in a curing oven to ensure that the ink adheres to the silicone and is fully dried, guaranteeing durability and wear resistance.

6. Inspection and Testing

Rigorous quality control is performed to ensure that the keys are correctly printed, have consistent tactile feedback, and function as expected. Dimensional checks, visual inspections, and functionality tests are carried out to confirm the final product meets all specifications.

7. Assembly and Packaging

If necessary, the silicone keypad is assembled with additional components such as conductive traces, and it is packaged for shipment. The packaging is done to protect the product from damage during transportation.

Silicone Keyboards Surface Protection Options:

1. Matte Smooth Coating

Provides a non-glossy, smooth finish that reduces glare and fingerprints, enhancing tactile comfort while maintaining a clean look.

2. PU Coating

A flexible, durable coating that resists abrasion, UV, and chemicals, offering a soft feel and long-lasting protection against wear.

3. Epoxy Coating

A hard, protective finish that resists scratches, oils, and solvents, ensuring superior durability and temperature resistance for demanding environments.

4. Silicone Key with Plastic Button Cap

Combines the softness of silicone with the durability of plastic caps for improved tactile feedback and added resistance to wear and tear.

Each surface treatment option offers tailored protection for silicone keyboards, ensuring durability, comfort, and functionality in various applications.
