SEALING OF KEYBOARDS
The graphic legend is silk-screen printed on
the second surface of a clear polyester film,
providing maximum legend protection. It
withstands high humidity, and it is resistant to
scratching, marring, and dulling of the surface
caused by fingernails, wiping cloths, and
cleaning materials. It has excellent solvent
resistance to water, petroleum oil, alcohols
and aliphatic hydrocarbons.
These common liquids do not attack the
overlay: 5% acetic acid, 5% citric acid, 2%
detergent solution, soapy water, 30% hydrogen
peroxide, wine, beer, whiskey, coffee, cocoa,
milk, tomato juice, lemon juice, etc.
Hydrocarbons, ketones and freon do not affect
the overlay. But, we recommend that you do not
subject the keyboard to these chemicals, since
they may affect the switch housing, which is
ABS plastic. To discuss a particular solvent,
contact Grayhill.
Protect your equipment in outdoor or harsh
environmental conditions by sealing the
keyboard to the equipment panel. Use an
optional gasket with the keyboard. There are
two types of gaskets: one for mounting the
keyboard beneath the panel, and one for
mounting it above the equipment panel. See
Panel Seal Gaskets.
The contact system is internally sealed by a
special adhesive backed sheet that holds the
domes in position on the PC board.
