In the diverse fields of industry and life, silicone rubber products occupy an extremely important position due to their excellent physical and chemical properties. It has excellent high and low temperature resistance and can maintain a stable state from the scorching desert to the icy polar environment; its insulation performance is first-class, providing a solid guarantee for the safe operation of various electrical equipment; its flexibility is even more outstanding, and it can withstand frequent bending and twisting. From precision medical instruments to daily kitchen utensils to key electronic components and automotive parts, silicone rubber products are everywhere.



However, it is worth noting that if the storage method is unreasonable, even if the silicone rubber products have such excellent performance, their service life and functional performance will be seriously affected. Next, we will systematically introduce the correct storage requirements of silicone rubber products to help you properly preserve such products.

The first point of storage is to avoid direct sunlight. Although silicone rubber has good tolerance to most environmental factors, long-term exposure to ultraviolet rays or strong light will significantly accelerate its aging process. This is just like the long-term exposure of human skin to ultraviolet rays will accelerate aging. For example, outdoor rubber water pipes will often harden and crack after long-term exposure to the sun. Therefore, when storing silicone rubber products, be sure to place them in an environment that avoids direct sunlight, especially in outdoor environments. If the product must be used outdoors, it is recommended to give priority to products made of silicone rubber materials with anti-ultraviolet agents added to enhance its ability to resist ultraviolet rays.

Secondly, the control of ambient temperature is also crucial for the storage of silicone rubber products. Silicone rubber can maintain stable performance in a wide temperature range of -55℃ to 200℃. However, extreme temperature conditions, especially high temperature environments, may have an adverse effect on its physical properties. Take chocolate as an example, it is easy to melt and deform in a high temperature environment, and silicone rubber products will also change their performance under extreme temperatures. Therefore, when storing silicone rubber products, they should be placed in a room temperature environment as much as possible, away from extreme temperature areas such as overheated heating equipment, open flame stoves, and overcooled refrigerator freezers. Long-term exposure to overheating or overcooling will cause silicone rubber products to lose their original excellent properties such as flexibility and insulation.

Mastering the storage points of these silicone rubber products can effectively extend the service life of the products and give full play to their performance advantages. It is recommended that you immediately check the silicone rubber products at home or in the workplace to ensure that they are stored correctly.
