Which buttons do we use in life that are silicone buttons? TV remote control buttons, air conditioner remote control buttons, mobile phone buttons, POS machine buttons, etc. and other buttons are basically silicone buttons. The production process of silicone keypads typically involves several steps to ensure the quality, durability, and functionality of the final product.

Design and Mold Creation: We design and develop button molds according to customers’ requirements and dimensions or silicone button drawings. This mold will determine the shape, size, and details of the silicone keypad. After the mold development and trial mold (mold sample), mass production can be carried out.

Material Preparation: According to customer requirements, the quality and specifications of silicone rubber parts, the hardness and performance of the rubber material are determined. The silicone material is mixed with various additives and pigments to achieve the desired properties and color. This mixing process is crucial to ensure uniformity and consistency in the final product.

Compression Molding: The prepared silicone material is injected or placed into the mold cavity. And then The mold is closed under pressure, compressing the silicone material into the precise shape of the keypad. Finally, the mold is heated to a specific temperature for a set amount of time (curing cycle), allowing the silicone to fully cure and take the shape of the mold.

Silk screen printing/laser engraving/glue dripping process: Printing is done according to the silk screen color patterns required by customers.

Surface Treatment: The edge removal uses a punch press and its die to flush out the burrs of the silicone keypad, making it a neat and beautiful finished product.

Quality Control: Each keypad undergoes inspection to check for defects, proper dimensions, and functionality. This can include visual inspection, dimensional checks, and functional testing.

Quality control measures are implemented to ensure that each silicone keypad meets the required standards for functionality, durability, and appearance.

Conductive silicone is a kind of silicone rubber that contains special conductive particles and is extruded or molded together with silicone buttons. Conductive silicone buttons are one of the buttons of many electronic products. Remote controls often use silicone buttons due to several practical reasons.

  1. High temperature resistance: applicable temperature range -40 to 230 degrees Celsius.
  2. Easy to clean: Silicone products produced from silicone can be restored to cleanliness by rinsing with water after use, and can also be cleaned in the dishwasher.
  3. Durability: The chemical properties of silicone materials are very stable. They can withstand repeated pressing without wearing out easily. This is crucial for remote controls that are used frequently over long periods.
  4. Various colors: Different beautiful colors can be prepared according to customer needs.
  5. Customization: Silicone buttons can be easily customized in terms of shape, size, and color, allowing manufacturers to design remote controls that are ergonomic and user-friendly.
  6. Cost-effective: Silicone buttons are relatively inexpensive to manufacture compared to other types of buttons or touch-sensitive surfaces. This helps keep the overall cost of producing remote controls down.

Silicone buttons provide a balance of durability, tactile feedback, and cost-effectiveness that make them a popular choice for remote controls and other electronic devices.

As technology continues to develop, the keyboard is an important tool for human-computer interaction. The silicone keypads are made of silicone as the main material and have a series of unique advantages and a wide range of applications.

  1. Silent Operation: Silicone keyboards are typically quieter compared to mechanical keyboards, as they do not produce noticeable key-click sounds. This can be an important consideration for users working in quiet environments.
  2. Soft Feeling: Silicone keyboards offer a softer keypress compared to mechanical keyboards, providing a gentle tactile sensation when keys are pressed.
  3. Water and Dust Resistance: Silicone keypads are water-resistant, ozone-resistant, and weather-aging resistant which means that they can maintain stable performance under various harsh environmental conditions and are not easily affected by external factors. This makes silicone keypads an ideal choice for outdoor electronic equipment, industrial control equipment and other industries.
  4. Durability: Silicone keyboards tend to be durable and resistant to wear and tear, offering a longer lifespan compared to some other keyboard types.
  5. Safety and environmental protection: Silicone keypads are non-toxic and odorless. They have low linear shrinkage and meet environmental protection requirements. It will not cause harm to the human body and the environment during production and use. It is a safe and reliable electronic component.
  6. Customized: The colors of silicone keypads can be customized and diversified with distinctive personalities. The unique surface treatment prevents the text on the buttons from falling off or fading.
