Product Description

Product Overview

Through a secondary injection molding or overmolding process, a rigid PC plastic skeleton is tightly bonded to a soft silicone button layer: the internal high-rigidity PC plastic skeleton ensures the structural strength and precise travel of the buttons.

the external high-quality silicone layer provides a soft touch, resilience, and excellent sealing, dustproof, and waterproof performance.

Suitable for high-frequency operation parts such as the shutter button, mode switch button, and power button in infrared sensor telescopes, this design solves the button reliability problem of infrared sensor telescopes in humid, temperature-varying, and vibration-prone environments.

Core Advantages

1.The silicone material is made from imported high-tear-resistance, weather-resistant vapor phase adhesive, with added high-efficiency UV-resistant additives and antioxidants. It has passed QUV aging tests to ensure the buttons will not yellow or discolor after years of outdoor use, guaranteeing accurate button presses and a lifespan of over 20 million keystrokes.

2.The button surface can be flexibly customized with various marking processes such as silkscreen printing, laser engraving (backlit and translucent), and dot printing.

3.Featuring an ergonomic design, all buttons have raised markings on their surface, allowing for easy identification even in complete darkness. The power button is silkscreened in a bright red for quick identification during daily use. The raised portion of the transparent PC plastic serves as the indicator light at the bottom of the display, offering high light transmittance and providing timely information on power-on status and device power consumption.

Application & Custom Service

Waterproof Outdoor Silicone Overmolded Buttons for Infrared Telescopes are mainly used in consumer electronics, automotive industry, medical devices, baby products, robotics, and other fields.

Silicone-coated waterproof buttons are widely used, such as: waterproof headphone control buttons, steering wheel multi-function buttons, center console touch feedback buttons, smart watch side buttons, function buttons, sports bracelet contact buttons, etc. Independent mold design and processing ensures the structural accuracy of the buttons and smooth demoulding, laying the foundation for product consistency. There are silicone molding processes such as liquid silicone injection molding, liquid silicone injection, silicone oil filling, and silicone parts spraying.

Bicycle light handle with plastic coated in silicone

The silicone-coated plastic bicycle light grip is a functional handlebar accessory specifically designed for bicycle light mounting and rider grip. It features a composite molding process with an outer silicone layer and an inner hard plastic base layer. The outer silicone layer provides anti-slip and shock absorption, while the inner plastic layer is strong and durable. This achieves improved performance in terms of anti-slip properties, shock absorption, and weather resistance, comprehensively enhancing safety and comfort for daytime commutes and nighttime riding. It is a lightweight, cost-effective essential upgrade accessory for cyclists.

Leak-proof liquid silicone encapsulation for electronic cigarette devices

Liquid silicone rubber (LSR) encapsulated plastic leak-proof components for e-cigarettes are made with food-grade liquid silicone material, ensuring a completely non-toxic and harmless process, and are FDA-approved. Utilizing a one-piece molding process, the elastic seal and rigid frame are integrated. This fundamentally solves the long-standing problems of oil leakage and condensate seepage in the e-cigarette industry, ensuring cleanliness and reliability throughout the product's entire lifecycle.

Massager Conductive Silicone Sleeve

This conductive silicone sleeve was custom-molded to meet the specific functional requirements of the massager's components. To satisfy the need for electrical conduction at the electrode pads located at both ends of the neck area, we employed specialized silicone processing techniques; this ensures that the inner silicone pad facilitates conduction at the ends—where it interfaces with the electrodes—while providing insulation in the center. This design enables the precise transmission of the electrical stimulation, pressure, and kneading forces generated by the electrode pads.

Liquid silicone encased plastic massage brush

Shenzhen ES Electronic Co., Ltd.'s custom-made silicone-coated massage brushes utilize a liquid silicone coating process, tightly integrating soft, food-grade liquid silicone with a high-strength plastic frame (such as PC, PA, PPSU, PBT, etc.) into a single unit. While ensuring structural stability and durability, this provides an extremely soft touch to the skin, offering a professional, comfortable, and safe massage solution.
