Liquid injection molding is a versatile process, with the ability to be customized to any application or need. And no matter what industry you’re in, versatility is key in being more productive, efficient and cost effective. Creating superior silicone products requires a high level of versatility, and liquid injection molding is the way to do that.
More and more companies, industries, and designers are opting for liquid injection processes. Why? It’s ideal for a variety of different tasks, environments and applications, where on-the-fly adjustments and versatility are key. This process can adapt as markets adapt, resulting in tailor-made products that can be made in a fraction of the time that other more traditional methods and materials can.
3 Industries
1. Healthcare
injection molding is used in heart monitors, dialysis machines, blood pressure test, and so much more. As technology changes, the medical field must be able to get vital products in the hands of doctors and nurses. Thanks to injection molding, products in the healthcare industry can go from design to manufacturing and distribution faster than ever.
2. Hospitality
Quality makes all the difference in this industry. When a guest stays at a hotel, they should feel at home and comfortable within an environment of excellence. Injection molding allows your brand to create unique branded products with the highest quality materials.
3. Military
In the military or law enforcements, your machines and devices need to be battle tested. A touchscreen may work just fine in an office building, but it won’t when out on the front lines. That’s why silicone leads the charge in well-designed military technology, with the added advantage of ITAR compliance since they are manufactured in the United States.
3 Benefits
Here’s how liquid injection molding can be used for your keypad design no matter which one of the above industries you’re in.
1. Protection
Liquid injection molding provides a protective outer shell that keeps fragile devices inside safe. The covering itself won’t scratch easily like touch screens and other materials can. Coverings made of durable rubber molding will provide more protection for the device and extend its useful lifespan.
2. Versatility
Injection molding can be used for both indoor or outdoor use, protecting separate pieces of a device, from gaskets and plugs to buttons and keypads.
3. Custom Printing
Liquid injection molding may offer labeling, printing or logos, either screen printed or laser-etched with such printing appearing on the top exterior surface or on the underside of the rubber keypad. This allows you to print directions on how to use the device. And with contrasting backgrounds and colors, as well as back lighting, it can easily be identified.
