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.
