Solid silicone rubber is a common rubber material widely used in various sealing, vibration isolation, and waterproofing applications. Proper storage can extend its service life and maintain its performance. The following are storage recommendations for solid silicone rubber:

Temperature: Silicone rubber is best stored in a dry, cool environment, away from direct sunlight and high temperature areas. Excessive temperature may cause rubber to age, harden, or become brittle.

Humidity: Avoid prolonged exposure of silicone rubber to high humidity environments, as the rubber will absorb moisture and cause a decrease in quality. It is best to store silicone rubber in a place with low relative humidity.

Packaging: Ensure that the silicone rubber packaging is intact and in a sealed state as much as possible. If the original packaging has been damaged, it can be resealed with plastic bags or sealed boxes to prevent dust and pollutants from entering.

Avoid pressure: Long term heavy pressure may cause deformation or damage to silicone rubber, so try to avoid heavy objects pressing on the rubber during storage.

Avoid contact with organic solvents: Solid silicone rubber is sensitive to some organic solvents and may cause swelling or chemical reactions. Therefore, when storing silicone rubber, it should be avoided from coming into contact with organic solvents or volatile chemicals.

Periodic inspection: It is best to regularly inspect the stored silicone rubber to ensure its good quality. If any abnormalities are found, such as discoloration, hardening, embrittlement, etc., they should be replaced in a timely manner.

Following the above storage recommendations can ensure that solid silicone rubber maintains good performance and extends its service life during storage.
