How to extend the service life of silicone products?

First of all, we have to know the common reasons that affect the aging of silicone as follows:

Factors affecting silicone aging

1: the influence of oxygen

Oxygen can oxidize the molecules of silica gel and make the molecular chain break or excessive cross-linking, thus reducing the function of silica gel. This is one of the important reasons for silica gel aging.

2: Influence of heat

Temperature can cause silica gel molecular cleavage or cross-linking, will also progress the oxygen diffusion rate, thus catalyzing the oxidation.

3: The influence of light

The shorter the light wave, the greater the energy, especially ultraviolet light. Its effect on silica gel is similar to that of heat, with the slight difference that light mainly acts on the surface of silica gel.

Maintenance measures

1、Silicone products should not directly contact with fire or electricity.

2, after each use, the application of hot water to clean silicone appliances and dry, to ensure clean and dry, pay attention to can not be directly cleaned with aggressive detergent, to dilute it.

3, do not use sharp utensils in contact with silicone appliances, and do not use heavy pressure and force pulling appliances.

4, silicone appliances more easily absorb dust, so do not use silicone appliances, it is best to put into a cool clean cabinet or box.

In short, the silicone is certainly flexible, ductility, temperature and pressure resistance and chemical indiscipline are very wonderful, but if you do not pay attention to the use of maintenance, it will shorten its service life, so we must take care of it, so that it can be better and longer for your service.
