Double Injection Mouldings
These two methods of production allow a part to be produced in two different material types or colours without the need for additional, often expensive assembly operations.
For over moulding, generally a TPE thermoplastic rubber is used to co-mould onto a plastic material, usually ABS or PC in a two tool stage process. This is used on many instrument cases where the customer wants to produce a case that has a durable feel and to offer further impact protection to the plastic shell.
Other Products and Services from Rubbertech 2000
Plastic Key Caps
Plastic caps can be produced in ABS, Polycarbonate and Acrylic depending on the product requirements.
Caps can also be produced using a two shot moulding process so that the legends are produced from a different coloured plastic to that of the main cap material, this is more expensive but on high volume and high usage products it eliminates the problem of printed legends wearing over time.
Backlit Keypads
Many electronic products are now designed to offer some form of backlit illumination utilising LED’s mounted behind a silicone keypad, this could be a simple indicator to show the device is powered or it could be a complete array of illuminated legends.
