China Handmade Lacquered Keycap - Customizable Heights & Materials from Trusted Suppliers and Factory
Combining Chinese lacquer with keycaps has the following benefits:
-
1. DurabilityItems coated with lacquer can produce a very durable lacquer surface, allowing the item to be preserved for a very long time. It is reported that coffins and lacquerware painted with lacquer 2000 years ago still have intact and bright lacquer films.
-
2. Heat ResistanceThe lacquer surface produced by lacquer can be used for a long time in environments up to 150 degrees Celsius. If heat-resistant pigments are mixed in, the heat resistance of the lacquer film can be increased.
-
3. Acid and Solvent ResistanceItems coated with lacquer can have a lacquer film that is resistant to acids and organic solvents. Even after a long period of use, the surface of the item is not easily corroded, making it widely used.
-
4. Abrasion ResistanceLacquer has strong abrasion resistance. The presence of urushiol in lacquer means there is a rigid benzene nucleus, which increases the hardness of the item and makes it less susceptible to wear.
-
5. AestheticsChinese lacquer is magnificent and elegant, adding a unique Eastern charm and beauty to keycaps.
-
6. Texture and Tactile FeelThe texture of lacquer is unique, combining the natural grain of wood with the luster and hardness of lacquer. This combination makes the tactile feel of the keycaps very special, with a sense of three-dimensionality, layering, and color that is tangible.
-
7. Timeless BeautyThe color of lacquer does not become dull over time; instead, it becomes more vibrant, maintaining its beauty over time, a phenomenon known as lacquer opening color.
The combination of Chinese lacquer with keycaps not only enhances the durability and aesthetics of the keycaps but also adds unique cultural value and artistic charm.
