Why is the Life of Silicone Products so Short?

Most products made of rubber or plastic materials will basically have aging and deformation. With the passage of time, temperature, humidity, use environment and other factors have a common impact on silicone products. The wear and tear of silica gel products are mostly decorative products. Due to long-term use, it will become sticky due to environmental impact and long-term distortion and wear, and the appearance will become soft and deformed. At the same time, there will be obvious hardening phenomenon, which seriously affects the service life of silicone products. So, cracking, fracture and other phenomena are aging phenomenon? Under normal conditions, silicone rubber products rarely show signs of aging. The root cause of aging phenomenon is mainly determined by the function and use of the product, such as the normal use and aging of sealed or buffering silica gel products, which is inevitable, because the long-term pressure will naturally form aging cycle, but what is the reason for similar signs of aging of silica gel bracelet and watchband? If silica gel jewelry is used normally, it will be affected by the environment. Usually contact with air, light and heat, pressure and liquid will cause signs of aging of silica gel products, and have a certain impact on their life. Here we will explain in detail the factors that affect the life of silica gel products.

First, the oxidation of silicone products exposed to ozone changes with time, which will lead to greater material damage. Different compounds of silicone molecular chain will lead to the change or decrease of the performance of silicone products, gradually and slowly change the service life and physical properties of silicone jewelry. You will find that your silicone watchband may gradually deform every day, there is a slow rebound phenomenon!

Second, Photothermal effect The effect of light and heat will mainly cause the change of product appearance. Long-term exposure to ULTRAVIOLET light and light sources can cause the surface of silicon atoms to expand and discolor, but short-term exposure to light and heat generally does not change much.

Thirdly,Silica gel is a highly absorbent material, insoluble in water and any liquid. But long-term contact with water will lead to water molecules into silica gel, damage the basic properties of the material, resulting in product performance decline, even discoloration deformation.

Fourthly,Stress is the most serious. When silicone products are stretched or extruded for a long time, the silicon molecular chain in the material is damaged over time and cannot be recovered. Stretch for a long time without resilience, tension drop or even fracture.
