What are the processes for silicone earphone covers?

In the electronic 3C industry, silicone protective covers have become one of the indispensable protective equipment. They are used in various electronic products, and the Bluetooth earphone case protective cover cannot be without wearing a beautiful decorative protective cover. With the popularity of Bluetooth wireless earphones, silicone earphone covers have also become a mainstream product, and the selection of surface appearance technology is also diverse. So what are the processes for silicone earphone cases?

Everyone knows that different materials will undergo surface treatment for the comfort of the appearance. For hardware, electroplating is used, while for plastic, UV agents are used. For silicone, surface oil spraying and UV modification are commonly used. Therefore, these two processes determine its surface smoothness and anti-static effect. Currently, these two methods are relatively common surface treatment methods, and the process details are as follows!

1. UV modification, which is less commonly used as a headphone cover, mainly involves placing silicone products into UV equipment and using special ultraviolet light to illuminate and float the silicon molecules and siloxanes inside the silicone cover onto the surface. After illumination, they oxidize to form a solid surface, achieving a protective layer effect, removing the static electricity layer and texture effect of the product.

2. Oil spraying mainly involves spraying a layer of coating ink on the surface of the silicone sleeve. The ink is transparent and adheres to the surface of the product. After high-temperature heating and solidification, it combines with the silicone to achieve an anti-static coating effect. Its advantage is that it has a smooth feel, does not adsorb dust and hair, and reduces the static electricity of the silicone! The flaw is that its ink cannot pass partial testing. When using food grade and medical grade silicone products, attention should be paid!

This method does not add any other substances to silicone products, so its advantage is that it can handle any silicone product, mainly used for food grade tableware, medical silicone products, etc. However, the disadvantage is that it will harden the surface texture of the product by 3-5 degrees, The effect of handling shadow surfaces that cannot be illuminated by UV lights is not good.

The above two are the surface texture treatment methods for silicone earphones, and there are also many choices for the surface aesthetic pattern treatment process. Different consumer groups will choose different appearance effects. So what are the common effects of silicone earphones!

1. Color printing can be divided into heat transfer printing, water transfer printing, and mold transfer printing. Different printing methods allow for the integration of multiple colors and gradient effects on the earphone case as a whole, resulting in a variety of trendy graphic patterns.

2. Screen printing, the main printing method is flat effect, which can be done in single color, dual color, or multiple colors. This type is mainly used by customization companies to print graphics or logos onto the main body of the product.

3 UV printing is similar to color printing, but it belongs to printing on the surface of silicone earphone sleeves, with higher efficiency, faster process, and simpler processing method.

4. Drip glue is mainly used for three-dimensional effects. The surface of the earphone cover is displayed in a concave convex three-dimensional manner. There are many cartoon shaped earphone covers, and the effect of the drip glue earphone cover is better, with a more prominent concave convex three-dimensional effect

5. Sun drying, this method mainly involves treating the surface of the product as a whole mold, and applying a biting treatment to the entire mold surface of the product, which can create various different texture effects.

There are many types of silicone earphone covers, and silicone material is just one of the processing methods. There are many different materials for processing Bluetooth earphone covers, and the conventional process of silicone belongs to the above types. It can be used as a reference to choose different styles and effects of protective covers!
