What is a silicone keyboard

As the name implies, silicone keys are key products made of silica gel. Silicone keys belong to a product category of silicone products. Silicone keys have excellent heat resistance, cold resistance, environmental resistance, electrical insulation, fatigue resistance, etc. Features.

Main ingredients

Silica gel (Silica gel; Silica) alias: Silicone rubber is a highly active adsorption material, an amorphous substance, and its chemical formula is mSiO2·nH2O. It is insoluble in water and any solvent, non-toxic, tasteless, chemically stable, and does not react with any substances except strong alkali and hydrofluoric acid. Various types of silica gel form different microporous structures due to different manufacturing methods. The chemical composition and physical structure of silica gel determine that it has many other similar materials that are difficult to replace: high adsorption performance, good thermal stability, stable chemical properties, and high mechanical strength. According to the size of its pore size, silica gel is divided into macroporous silica gel, coarse pore silica gel, type B silica gel, and fine pore silica gel.

Scope of application

Silicone keys are often used in electronic calculators, remote controls, telephones, wireless phones, electronic toys, computer keyboards, learning machine keys, cryptographic keys, and digital product keys;

Considerations

The production of silicone buttons needs to consider the diameter, length, width and height of the silicone product, keystroke distance, pressing force requirements, product hardness, color, conductivity requirements, etc.;
