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 radiation is increasing, and ultraviolet radiation is one of the main factors causing rapid aging of silicone product toys and reducing their lifespan. How should consumers do it?
For silicone products, the raw materials for silicone products have a storage period that is closely related to temperature. If the temperature is around 20 ° C, silicone products can generally be stored for three years without any problems. If stored at a temperature of 35 ° C-40 ° C, it is likely that the silicone gel will stick together in less than a year, so try to use the product within the specified period.
In summer, we need to regularly inspect and maintain silicone ornaments. If there are cracks, adhesions, and other phenomena, they need to be dealt with quickly. Taking good maintenance measures can ensure unnecessary losses and also guarantee the product's service life.
1. Place silicone products in a well ventilated and dry place, avoiding direct exposure to sunlight.
2. Soak it in water for a while because silicone has strong moisture absorption ability.
3. Coating or adding light shielding agents, paraffin wax, and other treatment methods on the surface of silicon products to prevent premature aging of the products.
During the production process, manufacturers can add about 1% of amine or phenolic additives to the products, which can effectively prevent the side effects of heat, oxygen, light, and liquid on silicone products.
