It looks like a metal button

At first glance, you must think it’s a metal button.Strictly speaking, this is a plastic button that looks like a metal button, not a metal button. This button is called the ABS resin button.

Metal button

Metal buttons are often seen on uniforms. Copper panels with letters or patterns, combined with metal handles. Its interior is hollow, so although it is made of metal buttons, it is still very lightweight.

Another common metal button is zinc alloy button, which is very heavy and looks very luxurious if coated with a beautiful surface.

Plastic buttons that look like metal buttons

There is a plastic button that looks like a metal button.They are made of ABS plastic and undergo electroplating treatment to give their surfaces a metallic texture of silver, gold, or other colors.On the other hand, the interior is plastic and very lightweight.

The importance of electroplating process in the production of metal buttons

Blog

Electroplating process is an indispensable and important part of every metal button product. (Note: while pursuing fashion and lightness, some unsaturated resin buttons and ABS plastic buttons also adopt electroplating process.)

From the type of electroplating, it can be divided into barrel barrel plating and hanging plating.
Barrel plating is used for products with low requirements on the appearance of metal buttons. Barrel plated metal products will not be very shiny. During the polishing process, the button surface will even leave scratches, but it will not be very clear. Although there is bright barrel plating, the overall effect is not as good as hanging plating. Of course, the cost of barrel plating is also relatively low. Products with low surface requirements or small area are suitable for barrel plating, such as small air holes, five claw buttons on the ring surface, three pieces of four button buttons, etc., which are generally used for barrel plating.
Hanging plating is used for products with high requirements on the appearance of metal buckle products, such as alloy four-way buckle surface, alloy three-step buckle, belt buckle, hardware chain, etc. The advantage of hanging plating is that the surface is not only smooth, but also as bright as a mirror. But some bicolor colors cannot be handled.
From the perspective of environmental protection, it can be divided into nickel plating and nickel free plating. Electroplating is the process of changing the color into a thin film and attaching it to the product surface through chemical treatment. If the “nickel” component is penetrated in the electroplating process, the product will not meet the national environmental protection standards (especially the European and American countries have higher requirements for non nickel). This is nickel plating; If there is no penetration of “nickel” in the electroplating process, it is nickel free electroplating. Of course, nickel free electroplating also has requirements for raw materials. If the raw material itself contains “nickel”, then nickel free electroplating cannot be completed. (for example, the raw material is iron, because it contains too much “nickel” component, so products made of iron cannot be plated without nickel.)
Commonly used electroplating colors include: Black Bronze, green bronze, red bronze, gun color, two-color gun black, bright silver, silver, imitation gold, rose gold, etc.

Introduction to jeans rivets

Metallic

Jeans are indispensable in people’s wardrobe, representing youth and fashion. You may have noticed the small copper buttons on the pockets of jeans, that is, jeans rivet. What is the function of these rivet?
Function of jeans rivet
At the beginning, people invented jeans to resist dirt and wear, and used rivet to reinforce clothes. Today, jeans are still popular and become a symbol of fashion because of their beautiful, practical and durable characteristics.
Nowadays, people may no longer need to put heavy tools in their pockets. The jeans rivet is still installed in the high tension area, and has also become a fashionable and beautiful ornament.

What is ABS button?

Blog

ABS button
ABS is the acronym of acrylonitrile butadiene styrene. It is a common thermoplastic resin, which is very suitable for the production of buttons. This material is famous for its moderate strength and reasonable price. It is a very hard, tough and hard material with excellent chemical resistance, impact resistance, heat resistance and dimensional stability. This material combines the toughness of polybutadiene rubber and the strength of acrylonitrile and styrene polymers, making it very durable and the best in the styrene family.
Features and limitations of ABS buttons
One of the biggest advantages of ABS buttons is that they are very strong and durable, especially in terms of impact and temperature. They perform well at extremely high and low temperatures. ABS buttons are resistant, strong, rigid, stable under limited load, and have excellent dimensional stability. They are famous for their excellent ductility and durability. Their limitations include low solvent resistance and poor weather resistance. In addition, ABS material will produce a lot of smoke when burning.
We provide high-quality ABS buttons of various shapes and colors at reasonable prices.
