Injection molding is a complicated subject, one that may prompt many questions from you, our valued customers. If you are considering a liquid silicone project, it’s important to be prepared, ask plenty of questions and do your homework. SiTech can take care of the rest! We know you have many questions, which is why we’ve come up with these top three questions that we get asked before customers tackle an injection molding project.
Q: Is injection Molding the Sole Option Available to Me?
A: We believe silicone is a superior material for many reasons, not the least of which is that there are several ways to mold it. In our many years in business, we have found liquid silicone injection molding to be the most reliable, advanced process capable of producing more precise results and more durable products than, say, the gum-stock process of compression molding. Primarily because of the chemical makeup of liquid silicone, parts remain durable throughout the product life cycle and will not break down earlier than they should. You get a longer lasting product and save money because you don’t have to replace it as often as you would with another material or method.
Q: Does Silicone Allow Me to Create a User-Friendly Finished Product?
A: In a word: yes! The best silicone products are those that are customized to the individual client’s needs. We encourage you to explore all the unique features we offer with our silicone products, such as key coloring, backlighting, and contrasting backgrounds and colors. Rest assured, SiTech has many years of experience helping clients create keypads that are not only aesthetically pleasing but durable and user friendly as well.
Q: How Will This Impact My Business’ Bottom Line?
A: We believe it’s better to spend more on quality products initially than spend a small amount every few years with the need to keep replacing items. We also believe it’s better to buy quality over quantity. When it comes to keypad manufacturing, the use of quality silicone parts can extend the lifespan of your product and save you money over the long haul. With that said, manufacturing a custom keypad is more affordable than ever. Thanks to rapid prototyping, you’re receiving the ideal perfect product for your application, quickly.
Here at SiTech, we have the experience, skill and training to answer your important questions, no matter how complicated they are. Custom keypads are just one of the many products we make.
