    Keytouch offers customized embossing on all of our graphic overlays. This feature enhances the uniqueness of a membrane switch, helping operators easily identify switch positions and differentiate between buttons. Embossing additional elements, such as your company logo, further personalizes your equipment and adds to its distinctiveness.<\/p>

    Silicone rubber keypads
    <\/strong>Keytouch designs custom silicone rubber keypads tailored to customer specifications, which can be integrated into membrane switches or operator panels. These keypads offer flexibility in design, with customizable rubber, symbols, and text in any color. The keys can vary in movement and pressure resistance.
    Electrical Solutions<\/strong>
    The keypads can feature carbon vulcanized on the back for direct contact with the PCB or be used to cover membrane switches with metal domes.
    Backlighting<\/strong>
    Backlit keypads use transparent silicone with color coatings, where symbols and text are illuminated using laser etching or chemical erosion, ensuring visibility in the dark. Multiple color options are available, and backlighting is combined with Duracoating for enhanced durability.
    Coating Options<\/strong>
    Keypads come with several coatings for increased resistance:<\/p>

    • Duracoating: Protects key top printing with excellent abrasion, oil, and solvent resistance, available in gloss or matte.<\/li>
    • Encap: A liquid polymer coating that provides a rigid plastic finish, available in gloss or matte.<\/li>
    • Plastic Key Tops: Molded plastic key tops combine the benefits of both silicone rubber and plastic keypads.<\/li><\/ul>

      These keypads offer customizable design, durability, and functionality to meet various customer needs.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

                  When bacteria come into contact with Autotex AM, the antimicrobial properties of the film inhibit cell reproduction, preventing further bacterial growth.
                  Made from a hard-coated polyester film with integrated antimicrobial protection, Autotex AM is ideal for surfaces where hygiene is critical. It works by reducing the spread of bacteria between users.
                  This film is suitable for use on front panels, membrane switches, and any surface exposed to frequent human contact.<\/p>
