What are the storage precautions for liquid silicone?
The following points should be noted when storing liquid silicone to ensure its stable performance and safe use:
1. Temperature control:
Suitable temperature: It is usually recommended to store between 5°C and 25°C, avoiding high or low temperatures.
Avoid freezing: Prevent silicone from freezing to avoid affecting its performance.
2. Store away from light:
Avoid direct sunlight: Ultraviolet rays will accelerate the aging of silicone and should be stored in a cool place.
Store in a sealed container: Prevent air from entering the container to prevent silicone from reacting with moisture in the air.
Prevent contamination: Make sure the container is sealed to avoid impurities.
3. Humidity control:
Low humidity environment: High humidity will cause silicone to cure prematurely and should be stored in a dry place.
4. Keep away from chemicals:
Avoid contact: Avoid contact with chemicals such as acids, alkalis, and organic solvents to avoid reactions.
5. Regular inspection:
Check the expiration date: Check the expiration date regularly to avoid using expired products.
Check the status: Check the status of the silicone regularly and stop using it if there is any abnormality (such as caking, discoloration).
6. Safety measures:
Good ventilation: The storage area should be well ventilated to avoid the accumulation of harmful gases.
Fire prevention measures: Keep away from fire sources and high-temperature equipment to prevent fire.
Following these precautions can effectively extend the storage life of liquid silicone and ensure its stable performance.
