The Backend Process Of Silicone Products That Cannot Be Ignored.

The back-end process of silicone products after molding:

Laser carving

Laser engraving, also known as laser engraving or laser marking, is a process of surface treatment using optical principles

Laser engraving refers to laser engraving, which uses the light energy of a laser beam to cause chemical and physical changes in the surface material, resulting in the creation of marks, or uses light energy to burn off some of the material, revealing the desired etched graphics and text; According to different carving methods, it can be divided into dot matrix carving and vector cutting.

Dot matrix engraving - resembling high-definition dot matrix printing; The laser head swings left and right, carving a line composed of a series of points each time, and then the laser head moves up and down simultaneously to carve multiple lines, finally forming the entire image or text; The scanned graphics, text, and vectorized images can all be engraved using dot matrix.

Vector cutting is different from dot matrix carving, as it is performed on the outer contour line of graphics and text. This mode is usually used for penetration cutting on materials such as wood, paper, acrylic, etc. It can also be used for marking operations on various material surfaces!

Gluing

First, shape the product and then apply glue onto it

The main components of glue are adhesive colloids and organic solutions. The function of adhesive colloids is to provide adhesion, and organic solvents refer to low toxicity, volatile chemical solvents that can dissolve adhesive colloids, such as cyclohexane, gasoline, acetone, butanone, etc. The sponge mainly relies on the volatilization of organic solutions to achieve expansion during gluing. So when pouring glue, try not to expose the sponge that has been coated with glue to the outside, as this will reduce the expansion effect of the organic solution on the sponge.

Definition of Silicone Ink

Silicone ink is mainly classified according to its use, and is a type of coating protective ink used on silicone materials.

Typical applications include mobile phone buttons, remote control buttons, and various silicone button components.

Silicone ink classification

According to the coating process, it can be divided into silicone spray ink, silicone screen printing ink, silicone pad printing ink, and silicone dot printing.

Divided by curing method: heat cured silicone ink, UV cured silicone ink.

Hot drying silicone ink is divided into: high-temperature curing silicone ink (180 ° C~250 ° C), low-temperature curing silicone ink (100 ° C~120 ° C)

Silicone protective ink (matte oil, tactile oil, matte oil)

Applied to spray on the surface of silicone buttons to improve gloss, enhance hand feel, and prolong font life. After extinction treatment, the product has the characteristics of smooth hand feel, matte surface, high abrasion resistance, etc. It can protect the printed fonts on the silicone rubber buttons and prevent dust on the surface of other silicone rubber products

print

Silicone printing, in simple terms, refers to the printing process using screen printing. The basic principle is that the mesh holes in the graphic and textual parts of the screen printing plate can pass through silicone, while the mesh holes in the non graphic and textual parts cannot pass through silicone. Apply a certain pressure to the silicone using a scraper to squeeze it from the mesh holes in the graphic and text parts onto the substrate.

Features: Strong stretchability, fade resistance, wear resistance. Non toxic and odorless, with strong simulation ability and high temperature resistance. It has a strong sense of three dimensionality and glossiness, and has a good anti slip effect.
