Does climate change have an impact on the curing of industrial grade liquid silicone?
Dec 22,2023 Hanast
The temperature changes greatly throughout the year, with the four seasons changing from spring, summer, autumn and winter. Temperature is very sensitive to the curing time of industrial-grade liquid silicone. So, what impact does temperature change have on the curing time of liquid silicone?
Cold weather in winter will prolong the curing time of industrial-grade liquid silicone. Because liquid silicone can be heated in the oven, the impact is not great. The main reason is that industrial-grade liquid silica gel has a greater impact. The weather in northern areas is cold in winter, and the curing time of industrial-grade liquid silica gel becomes extremely slow.
Hanast recommends that customers who operate industrial-grade liquid silicone should try to operate during the day when the liquid is solidified, because the temperature will be lower at night. Or add the proportion of curing agent to 3%-5%, so that the curing time will be faster and the work efficiency will be high. Therefore, we must pay attention to the impact of climate changes on the curing time of liquid silicone in order to make reasonable countermeasures.
