The silicone wristband is not only comfortable to wear on the hand, but the pattern on the wrist strap is also very attractive. So how are these exquisite patterns or logos made and engraved? What processes do silicone product manufacturers need to use in the production of wrist straps?
1. Printing
Silicone printing, in simple terms, refers to the printing process using screen printing. The basic principle is that the mesh holes in the graphic and textual parts of the screen printing plate can pass through silicone, while the mesh holes in the non graphic and textual parts cannot pass through silicone. Apply a certain pressure to the silicone using a scraper to squeeze it from the mesh holes in the graphic and text parts onto the substrate.
2. Glue filling
First, shape the product and then apply glue onto it. The main components of glue are adhesive colloids and organic solutions. The function of adhesive gel is to act as a bonding agent. The sponge mainly relies on the volatilization of organic solutions to achieve expansion during gluing. So when pouring glue, try not to expose the sponge that has been coated with glue to the outside, as this will reduce the expansion effect of the organic solution on the sponge.
3. Fuel injection
Applied to spray on the surface of silicone wristbands to improve gloss and enhance hand feel and font lifespan. The product after extinction treatment has the characteristics of smooth hand feel, matte surface, and friction resistance, which can protect the printed fonts on the wristband and and prevent dust on the surface.
4. Radium carving
Laser engraving, also known as laser engraving or laser marking, is a process of surface treatment using optical principles. Laser engraving refers to laser engraving, which uses the light energy of a laser beam to cause chemical and physical changes in the surface material of silicone products on the wrist strap, leaving marks, or to burn off some of the material with light energy, revealing the desired etched graphics and text. According to different carving methods, it can be divided into dot matrix carving and vector cutting.
