How to Effectively Prevent the Aging of Silicone Products?

2021-12-14

Although the anti-aging performance of silica gel is very good, it does not mean that it can be used in any environment, so the maintenance method of silica gel products is very important. Especially in summer, the intensity of ozone and ultraviolet rays are getting higher and higher, and ultraviolet rays are one of the main factors that cause the rapid aging of silica gel products and reduce the life of silica gel products. So what should consumers do?

For silicone products, the raw material silicone products will have a storage period, which has a great relationship with the temperature. If the temperature is around 20°C, the silicone products can generally be stored for three years without problems. If stored at a temperature of 35°C-40°C, it is likely that the silica gel will stick together in less than a year, so try to use the product within the specified period.

In summer, we need to check and maintain silicone products frequently. If there are cracks, adhesions, etc., we need to deal with them quickly. Taking care of maintenance measures can ensure unnecessary losses and ensure the use time of the products.

1. Place the silica gel product in a ventilated and dry place, avoid direct sunlight.

2. Soak in water for a while, because silica gel has strong moisture absorption capacity.

3. Coating on the surface of silicon products or adding light shielding agent, adding paraffin wax and other treatment methods to avoid premature aging of the product. In the production process, manufacturers can add about 1% of amine or phenol additives to the product, which can effectively prevent the side effects of heat, oxygen, light, and liquid on silica gel products.
