Keypad with Crystal Epoxy Dome Solution
Epoxy resin doming is a process where a transparent layer of epoxy resin is dispensed to the key’s top surface of membrane switch or rubber keypad, giving them a crystal-like dome appearance.
This domed effect not only enhances the aesthetics but also improves the durability and tactile feel of the keypads. Below is an introduction to these epoxy resin domed keypads:

Epoxy Resin Doming Process
The doming process typically involves the following steps:
Preparation: Clean the keypad surface thoroughly to ensure it is free from dust and grease.
Doming: Evenly apply epoxy resin onto the keypad surface. Automated doming equipment can be used to ensure consistent resin application on each keypad.
Curing: Place the domed keypads in a curing device (such as an oven or UV curing machine) and cure them at a specified temperature or under UV light. The curing time and conditions depend on the properties of the epoxy resin used.
Inspection and Finishing: After curing, inspect the keypad surface for bubbles and defects. Perform any necessary finishing touches to achieve the best results.
