Causes of aging of liquid silicone products
Dec 28,2023 Hanast
Liquid silicone has excellent properties, is non-toxic, odorless, and resistant to high and low temperatures. You may know this as a silicone product. Is performance really that superior in all aspects? In fact, this is uncertain, but as far as silicone products are concerned, more than 80% of the products have no problems and customers respond well. However, there are always problems with the quality of some products, but the occurrence of defective rates is not impossible. Users will gradually age after long-term use. What are the specific reasons for the aging of liquid silicone products?
First of all, there are many reasons for the aging of silicone products. Although the material has good performance, the aging time of long-term use in different fields is also different. Some of them are used at high temperatures and age relatively quickly. If it is not replaced in time for a long time, cracks will appear. When the industrial manufacturing temperature reaches a certain height, silicone parts will increase oxygen diffusion and accelerate the oxidation reaction of the silicone rubber material. This is also one of our common thermal effects, leading to the deformation and aging of silicone rubber. Therefore, during use, the climate and temperature should be maintained for a long time, and appropriate watering should be used to cool down.
There are also many chemical reactions, such as ozone. Ozone not only affects the aging of silica gel, but also affects all aspects of human body air. For silicone products, ozone is a humid climate and environmental problem, which has a greater impact on silicone products. Long-term placement in this environment will cause direct aging and cracks of the silicone material. When oxygen reacts to the silicone rubber, it will also change the various properties of the silicone rubber and reduce its performance. This is also an important reason for the aging of silicone rubber. . For silicone product manufacturers, there are many chemical reactions and other reasons that affect the performance of silicone products, and only with a little experience can the cause of aging be found.
