What Type Of Keypad Material Is Best For You?
By: Art Gib

In these challenging economic times, any important purchase made by a company must take longevity and utility into account: in other words, you want to get the best product for the job that will last a long time. If you are responsible for maintaining your business's technological hardware, you know that the type of replacement rubber keypads you select will make a big difference in the company's ability to get the job done, overall productivity, and bottom line. Here are the two main types of materials used for IMF keyboards and what their differences are.

Polycarbonate (PC)

--Polycarbonate keypads are the #1 choice when buttons are unusually high (up to 5 mm), such as those on conventional PC keyboards.

--When the pad is vacuum formed onto your keyboard, the properties of the PC allows the pad to mold easily and reliably to the surface of the machine and around the keys.

-- Because your keypad is personalized to your company's needs, it has to be able to effectively display the needed graphics so that your employees will easily know which buttons to push! Polycarbonate is specially formulated to hold and retain printed graphics for the long run and the color reproduction on PC is outstandingly vivid and bright.

-- PC comes in many pre-textured surfaces, allowing for ease of employee button pushing and less slippage.

-- Because PC keypads are used in a wide variety of applications and not just in an office setting, the material is built to withstand the effects of contact with chemicals and it is also fade-resistant to natural and fluorescent light.

Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TP)

-- Thermoplastic Polyurethane might be a better choice for you, especially if the height of your keyboard keys is low (such as that on a laptop or a keyboard with bubble buttons).

-- Because users' fingers are in near constant contact with the keypad, TP is great since its tensile strength is incomparable.

-- It is resistant to a wide variety of stresses, including chemicals, bacteria, and fungus, making it ideal for the food service industry and in other applications where it might get dirty on a regular basis.

-- One of the concerns with any rubber keypad is how it is influenced by light. A yellowed keypad not only looks undesirable in a public setting, it is also at risk of becoming brittle and splitting. TP resists the strength of UV rays without every yellowing or becoming brittle.

If you are unsure which of these two fine materials might work best for your keyboards, make sure to contact rubber keypads specialists who will guide you in the best direction.
