How to produce silicone button by softening method
Jun 24, 2021
In daily life, people often touch buttons when using computer keyboards, TV remotes, calculators, utility phones, ATM machines, POS machines and other equipment, and each button must be pressed with your finger when using it. So, different silicone buttons have different requirements for pressing the silicone buttons.
The pressing force is 80-120g, which is generally suitable for electrical buttons and remote control buttons. The pressing force is moderate, the hand feels comfortable, and the resilience is good.
The pressing force is 50-80g, which is generally suitable for the silicone buttons of computer keyboards and calculator keys. This degree of pressing force is relatively low, and the pressing is simple and convenient, which is conducive to fast input, and is suitable for silicone buttons that often need to be clicked. With the development of technology, the technology of silicone buttons is gradually improved. The quality of the produced silicone buttons is getting better and better. The softness requirements of the silicone buttons are getting higher and higher. How to make the hard silicone buttons soft and how to do it.
Generally, if the elasticity of the silicone button product is poor, the silicone material may have a problem. At the same time, it may also be that the silicone product uses fillers to increase the hardness. To confirm whether the silica material is qualified, we can try to reduce the hardness of the regenerated rubber. Or you can add a small amount of base silicone oil, and the amount must be controlled. This can promote the softening of the silicone button, but the amount must be suitable. If the silicone button is vulcanized, it cannot be softened.
Silicone can be used to increase the hardness of the filler and reduce the hardness of the raw rubber. Try to add a small amount of methyl silicone oil. The amount must be controlled. The silicone button will easily produce grease. A small amount of hydroxy silicone oil can also play a role. The control is structured, and the silicone buttons can also be softened.
