How to make up for the shortcomings of silicone?
Silicone has the disadvantages of strong adsorption, not resistant to scratches by sharp objects, difficult to mold, slight odor and not resistant to oil. Here are some ways to make up for these shortcomings:
For strong adsorption: You can apply a layer of protective agent or isolation agent on the surface of silicone products to form a protective film to reduce the adsorption of dust and hair. For example, spray a thin layer of anti-static spray on the surface of the silicone mobile phone case to reduce the electrostatic adsorption capacity. Clean the silicone products in time after use, wipe the surface with a soft damp cloth to remove adsorbed foreign matter. When storing, put the silicone products in a sealed bag or box to avoid contact with dust and hair from the outside.
For not resistant to scratches by sharp objects: During use, try to avoid contact between silicone products and sharp objects. For example, when using silicone kitchen utensils, do not cut them with sharp knives. You can add a protective cover or shell for silicone products, such as putting a transparent plastic protective cover on the silicone bracelet to reduce the risk of direct scratches. Choose silicone materials with good quality and moderate hardness, which have relatively good wear resistance and can resist scratches to a certain extent.
For relatively difficult molding: using advanced molding technology and equipment, such as liquid silicone injection molding technology, can more accurately control the molding process of silicone, improve the molding quality and production efficiency of complex-shaped products. Strengthen the research and improvement of production technology, optimize mold design, improve the precision and quality of molds, and reduce the difficulty of molding. Provide professional training for operators to improve their operating skills and experience, and ensure that various problems can be properly handled during the molding process.
For slight odor: place the newly purchased silicone products in a well-ventilated place and let them emit odor naturally. Generally, after 1-2 days, the odor will be significantly reduced. You can soak the silicone products in clean water, add an appropriate amount of lemon juice or white vinegar, soak for a period of time, take them out, and rinse them with clean water to effectively remove the odor. For some small silicone products, such as silicone nipples, you can use the steaming method, put them in boiling water and boil them for a few minutes, then take them out and dry them, which can also remove the odor.
For oil resistance: avoid long-term contact between silicone products and oily substances. For example, when using silicone kitchen utensils, try to minimize direct contact time with grease. After contacting with oily substances, clean the silicone products with detergent in time to remove the oil on the surface. You can apply an oil-resistant coating on the surface of the silicone products to improve its oil resistance. In addition, choosing special silicone materials with good oil resistance can solve the problem of oil resistance to a certain extent.
