3C Electronic Products, also known as 3C products, 3C stands for “Computer, Communication and Consumer Electronics. These Products have become an essential part of our lives today due to their convenience and affordability. They provide us with a way to stay connected while still being able to enjoy entertainment on our terms.
As we know, the world of 3C electronic products is a rapidly changing one. With new technologies and products being released every day, Emerging 3C industry electronics product is mainly divided into intelligent wearable devices, AR/VR, UAV, and so on...

Especially, wearable devices have become increasingly popular in recent years for a variety of applications at home and at work, from fitness trackers to smartwatches, these devices are designed to make our lives easier and more efficient. Although these wearable devices offer a lot of convenience and benefits, they can also cause a lot of pain. The material used to make wearable devices can be uncomfortable and cause skin irritation or even rashes.

How to make wearable devices so safe, reliable, and functional? The answer lies in the materials used to create them.

Materials play a critical role in the design and functionality of wearable devices. These materials must be able to withstand extreme temperatures, humidity, and other environmental conditions while still providing function properly or reliably over time. they must also be safe, lightweight, flexible, and durable enough to withstand everyday wear and tear.

The most common material used for wearable devices is plastic. Plastic is lightweight and durable, making it an ideal choice for wearables. However, it can also be abrasive against the skin and cause irritation or rashes. This is especially true if the device is worn for long periods of time or if it’s not cleaned regularly.

Another material used in wearable devices is metal. Metal is often used for components such as sensors or buttons, but it can also be used for the entire device itself. While metal may look sleek and stylish, it can also be cold against the skin and cause discomfort when worn for long periods of time. It can also cause skin irritation if not cleaned regularly.

And, there are some wearable devices are made from fabric or leather materials. These materials are often more comfortable than plastic or metal but they can still cause skin irritation if not cleaned regularly or if worn for long periods of time without being washed or replaced. Additionally, fabric materials may not be as durable as plastic or metal so they may need to be replaced more often than other materials.

What's more, SILIKE Launched Si-TPV, as a kind of new 3C Technology Material, to invigorate a brighter future! Si-TPV can deliver unique silky and skin-friendly touch, excellent dirt collection resistance, flexibility, and durability, which makes it an ideal choice for 3C electronic product designers looking to create products that offer both aesthetic appeal and function advantages at an affordable price point. As well as, with its eco-friendly sustainable advantages over traditional materials used in 3C electronic product design, Si-TPV is quickly becoming the go-to material for manufacturers or brand owners looking to create an exquisite sensation and high-quality green fashion products that stand out from competitors at the same time!
Moreover, Si-TPV can be salivated, blown film. Si-TPV film and some polymer materials can be processed together to obtain complementary Si-TPV leather, Si-TPV laminated fabric, or Si-TPV clip mesh cloth.
It can be easily molded into any shape or size desired by the designer without compromising its strength or durability. This makes it ideal for creating complex designs with intricate details that would otherwise be difficult to achieve with traditional materials such as metal or plastic. One of the most notable benefits of these Si-TPV products are highly resistant to wear and tear as well as water damage. This makes it ideal for use in products exposed to harsh environments or frequent use. Since resistant to UV radiation which makes it perfect for outdoor applications such as solar panels or other electronics exposed to direct sunlight.

Application

Si-TPVs provide a uniquely smooth feel in hardness ranging from Shore A 35 to 90A making them the ideal material to enhance the aesthetics, comfort, and fit of 3C Electronic Products, including hand-held electronics, wearable devices(from phone cases, wristbands, brackets, watch bands, earbuds, necklaces, and AR/VR to silky-smooth parts...), as well as improve scratch resistance and abrasion resistance for the housings, buttons, battery covers and accessory cases of portable devices, consumer electronics, household products, and homewares or other appliances.

Bond Requirements

SILIKE Si-TPVs Overmolding can adhere to other materials through injection molding. suitable for insert molding and or multiple material molding. Multiple material molding is otherwise known as Multi-shot injection molding, Two-Shot Molding, or 2K molding.

SI-TPVs have excellent adhesion to a variety of thermoplastics, from polypropylene and polyethylene to all kinds of engineering plastics.

When selecting an Si-TPV for an over-molding application, the substrate type should be considered. Not all Si-TPVs will bond to all types of substrates.
