Summary
The anti-aging property of silica gel has an important impact on its product life. By optimizing the formula, selecting high-quality raw materials, controlling the processing technology and carrying out surface treatment and coating, the anti-aging performance of silica gel can be effectively improved, thus extending the service life of the product.
How does the anti-aging property of silicone affect the product life?
1、 Product performance
Fully cross-linked: Controlling the molding time can ensure that the silicone material is fully cross-linked. A too short molding time may result in incomplete cross-linking of silicone materials, thereby affecting the physical properties and chemical stability of the product, such as hardness, tensile strength, heat resistance, etc., which may not meet the standards.
Stable performance: Appropriate molding time helps to stabilize the performance of silicone products, ensuring that they can maintain their original performance characteristics during use.
2、 Production efficiency and cost
Production efficiency: Molding time is one of the key factors affecting production efficiency. Excessive molding time will reduce production efficiency and increase production costs. On the contrary, a reasonable molding time can improve production efficiency and reduce production costs.
Time cost: For large and thick silicone products, due to their longer molding time, the customization time cost is higher, and the production cost will correspondingly increase.
3、 Product Quality and Appearance
Quality uniformity: Appropriate molding time can ensure the quality uniformity of silicone products, avoiding local uncured or excessively cured situations.
Appearance effect: The length of molding time may also affect the appearance of silicone products, such as glossiness, flatness, etc. A too short molding time may result in uneven or flawed product surfaces, while a too long molding time may lead to excessive oxidation or discoloration of the product surface.
4、 Considerations in practical operation
Product size and thickness: The size and thickness of silicone products are one of the main factors affecting molding time. Generally speaking, the larger and thicker the product, the longer the required molding time.
Mold temperature: The setting of mold temperature also has a significant impact on the molding time. Appropriate mold temperature can accelerate the curing process of silicone materials, thereby shortening the molding time. However, excessively high mold temperatures may lead to excessive solidification or burning of silicone materials, while excessively low mold temperatures may prolong molding time and reduce production efficiency.
