Why do silicone products turn white when boiled?
Mar 24, 2021
The whitening of silicone products is mainly caused by the analysis of the silica composition in a high temperature environment. The main reason is the precipitation of hoarfrost on the silicone products.
Main reasons :
1. Improper adjustment of mixed silicone rubber raw materials;
2. The vulcanization temperature of silicone products is too high, causing polymer degradation and blooming;
3. The vulcanization temperature of silicone products is too low, and some parts are not fully vulcanized, resulting in whitening and blooming; 4. The temperature is too high when mixing silicone rubber;
5. Caused by seasonal changes.
If the silicone product appears white, you can take the following measures to solve it.
1. Carry out the secondary vulcanization of the silicone products. After the secondary vulcanization, the quality of the silicone products will be more stable and the material density will be more uniform;
2. Adding special auxiliary materials to the mixed silicone rubber raw materials can effectively avoid the phenomenon of whitening and frosting;
3. Through technical improvement, adjust the raw material formula of mixed silicone rubber.
The main hardness of the improved silicone is between 10 degrees and 90 degrees, which can be widely used in the manufacture of silicone products in various fields.
