What happens if the temperature is too high when baking foamed silicone?
During the baking process of foamed silicone, excessively high temperatures may cause the following problems:
--Uneven foaming: High temperature may cause the silicone to foam too quickly or unevenly, affecting the surface quality and performance.
-- Surface scorching: Excessive temperature may cause the silicone surface to scorch, resulting in discoloration or scorch marks.
-- Mechanical property degradation: High temperature may destroy the molecular structure of silicone, resulting in reduced mechanical properties such as elasticity and strength.
-- Bubble rupture: Bubbles formed during the foaming process may rupture due to high temperature, affecting the foaming effect.
-- Weakened adhesion: High temperature may weaken the adhesion between silicone and the substrate, resulting in delamination or peeling.
-- Dimensional deformation: High temperature may cause excessive expansion or contraction of silicone, resulting in dimensional instability.
-- Harmful gas release: Some silicones may release harmful gases at high temperatures, affecting the environment and health.
Therefore, the baking temperature should be strictly controlled to avoid being too high.
