Users who have bought Philips EasyKey often have such confusion: the smart lock has been used for a long time, why is it still as new as the one you just bought? Actually, a door lock that can ensure door safety is inseparable from the finely crafted surface treatment process.
The surface treatment process is a technology that can enhance the appearance, texture, wear-resistance and wear-corrosion of the product. Because it enables to form of a layer with some or more special properties on the material surface through physical or chemical methods.
So, what surface treatment process is mainly adopted in Philips EasyKey? What’s the advantage of this technology? Let's find out the answer!
Electroplating
Electroplating is a kind of process, in which is attached a layer of metal film on the metal surface under the principle of electrolysis. The cation of the pre-plated metal in the plating solution would be deposited on the base metal surface to form a coating.
Upon adopting the electroplating process, the smart door lock could have a beautiful appearance, high hardness, strong corrosion-resistance, better smoothness and heat resistance capabilities. Currently, this technology has been widely used in the surface treatment process on the smart door lock field.
Baking varnishing
Baking varnishing is an emerging method of spray lacquer. After the product surface has been ground to a certain degree of roughness, it will be placed in the baking vanishing room and baked at high temperature to shape and curing the paint layer.
Compare with common paint, the paint layer through the baking varnishing process would become more compact and not easy to split off. Besides, the paint film is even and has high color saturation with strong moisture resistance and fire resistance capabilities.
IML wire-drawing technology
Except for the electroplating or painting process, most of the escutcheons of the Philips EasyKey are adopted IML wire-drawing technology.
IML wire-drawing technology is a new type of in-mold decoration technology that combines screen printing, molding and injection molding. Not only can it make the metal surface get a non-mirror-like metallic luster, but also can reduce the subtle flaws on the metal surface.
An experiment shows that those products with IML wire-drawing technology would not appear to peel, split off or deform in an environment with a relative humidity of 95% to 100%. It possesses certain waterproof and moisture-proof performances.
Moreover, it can also effectively prevent fingerprint residues. Thus, this technology has been widely used in the field of security systems to solve some security problems caused by fingerprint residues. Philips EasyKey is no exception.
Through this technology, the escutcheon of Philips EasyKey would not easily fade, and has strong wear resistance and scratch resistance as well. It is waterproof, moisture-proof and fingerprint-proof, which can effectively prevent our fingerprints from theft. Philips EasyKey keeps our home security from details.
To sum up, electroplating, baking varnishing, and IML wire-drawing process are the main surface treatment processes of Philips EasyKey. The lifespan of the smart door lock has been extended, and also gives a better sense of experience to the user.
Philips EasyKey brings a distinctive sense of design to your door and makes life easier.
