Custom matte oil coating silicone products

The surface of molded silicone products is not sprayed with any coating, and it is easy to absorb dust and become sticky. Silicone manufacturers will use some coatings to enhance their performance. Oil spraying is a common post-processing process for customized silicone products, that is, spraying ink evenly on the product's surface to form a non-slip, soft, and feel-friendly coating. When using spray oil, you can customize the material of the silicone product and select the appropriate ink according to the customer's demand for the product. According to the difference in performance and cost, there are generally three types of spray oils： color oil ink, matte oil coating ink, and PU coating ink. Matting ink is used more often.

The spray oil ink used in custom silicone products is called silicone matting ink or silicone matte ink. A thin layer of ink that does not affect the product's color is sprayed on the surface of the silicone product to make the surface smoother, reduce dust and dirt, and provide a more comfortable touch while improving its added value and wear resistance.

Common types of silicone matte oil and their respective characteristics

There are many types of silicone matte oil. According to the product's surface effect, it can generally be divided into a frosted, matte (matting) surface, and glossy surface. Silicone products using frosted touch oil feel delicate, eliminating the roughness after molding and presenting a matte frosted effect, and are widely used in silicone protective covers and silicone 3C electronic accessories. Matte touch oil is mainly used to meet some products that require special matte treatment to improve the gloss and appearance of their surfaces. The appearance of silicone products can be sprayed with glossy oil for better gloss.

The benefits of spraying matte oil on custom silicone products

Better touch and comfort, higher surface finish and better anti-slip performance improve product performance and user experience.

Enhance the abrasive and scratch resistance of the surface of silicone products, protect its surface characteristics, reduce the appearance of scratches, and cover some black spots and impurities, thereby extending the product's service life.

There are no complex or special processing requirements and equipment. Compared with PU coating, higher production yield means lower production costs.

Excellent aging resistance and anti-stick properties make its surface durable and stain-resistant, making it easy to clean.

Applications of Custom Matte Oil Coating Silicone Product

Custom silicone products are widely used in daily necessities, automobiles, electronics, and other fields, such as maternal and infant silicone products, mobile phone jackets, handheld devices, automotive interiors, etc. During the silicone product design stage, our designers consider its appearance, slip resistance, and wear resistance, and should pay attention to user experience. For silicone products with rough surfaces, poor feel, and easy slipperiness, spraying silicone feel oil can improve the user experience.

Why do custom silicone products need to be sprayed with matte oil?

The appearance of your silicone product is critical to successfully selling the entire product. Generally speaking, Silicone manufacturers will ensure the quality of appearance of the product through mold surface treatment. However, since the surface of silicone products, after high-temperature molding is rough and easily adheres to dust, the oil spray process with a shorter delivery time and lower cost is the best choice to improve the appearance quality, and feel of custom silicone products. Especially, some products have high requirements for appearance and usability, so using matte oil is a very suitable method.

In addition, matte oil can be used for some products that are not suitable for coloring products using traditional silk screen printing methods or have specific requirements.

Things to note when using silicone matte oil for custom silicone products

❐ Custom silicone products made of different materials and hardnesses should choose the appropriate type of matte oil and usage method.

❐ Before spraying, the surface of the silicone product should be cleaned to ensure that the surface is dry and free of dust, oil, or other impurities.

❐ During the operation, the spray paint should be evenly applied, and there will be no accumulation and dripping on the surface.

❐ After spraying, let it dry at room temperature.

❐ During spraying operations, some necessary protective measures should be taken to avoid environmental pollution caused by spray agents that may contain harmful chemicals.
