3. Polydome Material

There’re three major different types of raw material in polydome manufacturing , and each of them will be used in different layers, see polydome stack up bellowing.

And here are details and datasheet of each type of polyester dome material.

PET (Polyester):

There’re two different colors: White and Transparent/Clear
And according to different function, PET can be divided into two different names:
Mylar: on top of polydome, normal color is Transparent/Clear and thickness will be 0.10mm or 0.125mm.
Spacer: on the bottom of polydome, normal color is Transparent/Clear, but white also available. Thickness 0.15mm, 0.175mm, 0.20mm.
For normal stack up, there’s only one side glue on Spacer so that it can be adhered to Mylar. If people want Polydome to be stick on circuit board, then there’ll be double sided glue on Spacer.

Conductive Ink: Carbon ink, Silver ink

Carbon ink will be printed firstly on PET and has bigger contact resistance;
Normally silver ink will be printed in 2nd times and on carbon ink layer, and has much lower contact resistance so it will be contacting point with the PAD of circuit board.
When looking from top of polydome, you will see the black color that belongs to carbon ink, while view from bottom side of polydome, you will see the silver-grey color which belong to silver ink.

Rubber glue:

That type of glue has excellent stickiness while stick to rubber key, it’ll adhered firmly on rubber. Normal color is green and thickness 0.125mm.
