Design
|
Accurate design for high quality product.
The perfect design is a fundamentally important factor witch controls both the function and the quality of the final part. It guarantees the function which the assembly during the project life time.
Based on vast experience and a large database having built over 5’000 successful projects enables Abatek to design the product that suits your requirements best.
This – of course – requires a professional tool shop which Abatek offers In-House.

Technology Production Tab-Compression-molding
|
Compression molding
|
Essential for most parts.
Most elastomers / silicone keypads are produced using a 2 layer compression mold which works very similar to a professional “waffle production”.
For more complex parts tools can have up to 5 layers.
By using optimal pressure, temperature and time the perfect part is produced.
|
 |
Transfer molding
|
Ensure highest efficiency.
Transfer molding starts with a closed tool and the material being injected. The rest of the process is identical to compression molding.
Some shapes made out of elastomer / silicone are more efficiently produced using the suitable transfer molding technique.
Abatek will always chose the most efficient process to ensure the best commercial offer.
|
 |
Injection Molding
|
Traditional injection molded parts for higher quantities.
Injection molding is a formative manufacturing technology.
In order to create desired parts polymer compounds are firstly melted and then injected into the cavities of the mold.
For the production of plastic several injection processes are available.
Abatek will always chose the most efficient process to ensure the best commercial offer.
|
 |
Reaction Injection Molding
|
Strong, flexible, lightweight parts with RIM.
The Abatek self-healing surface named Polyform3D is made out of Polyurethane and produced via Reaction Injection Molding (RIM) technology.
The polymer mixture is injected under pressure into a closed mold. It remains closed until the part is cured.

Secondary Surface Processing
Surface finishing for high end products.
Adding any kind of artwork, legends or full surface cover using spray, printing and laser techniques is a very cost-effective way of producing. It gives you the highest design flexibility.
The exclusive Abatek coating Sealplast® assures longest possible product lifetime for any decorative silicone part - also for outdoor applications.

Spray processes
|
Coloring the part.
To mark or color parts Abatek offers various In-House spray options:
- Manual wet spray booths
- Automatic wet spray lines
- Protective coating of silicone with world class proprietary Sealplast
- Automatic powder coating lines
|
 |
Printing
|
Customized printing.
Almost any color or design can be applied to the surface using silk screen printing, pad printing or ink printing.
|
 |
Lasering
|
Enlighten or mark the parts.
For lighting or coloring options silicone parts can be lasered.
The laser etching gives you a high degree of design freedom. It allows you to create “night design”.
Laser etched legends can comprise up to 3 layers of artwork and/or colors.

 |
Coating
|
Sealplast - exclusively by Abatek.
Sealplast is developed and exclusively offered by Abatek.
It is the best protection against abrasion and aggressive chemicals for silicone surfaces.
Treated surfaces are available from matt to semi-glossy.
In addition Abatek provides other types of coatings like PU and Silicone Coating to protect the decorated surface.
