There are many silicone products in our lives, and silicone products are also one of the most common supplies in our lives.
Silica gel, also known as silica gel, is a granular porous silica hydrate, which is an amorphous substance with a transparent or milky white appearance. It is made by washing and drying sodium silicate after acid addition. It is chemically stable, non-burning, non-toxic and tasteless. Although the name "glue", it is actually a solid, transparent or milky white appearance. Silicone is sometimes referred to as silicone, but is actually a silicon-containing compound with completely different properties and uses.
Generally due to the humidity of the outside world, the temperature causes mold, such as the kitchen, bathroom and other humid places, as well as the hot and humid climate in the south. Of course, in addition to the external influence, the main reasons also include some additives in silicone raw materials, such as silicone oil, color rubber powder, vulcanizing agent and so on. They are the main body of nutrients for these molds to grow. The growth of mold leads to the erosion of plant proteins and carbohydrates in silica gel. In addition, due to the inert and electrostatic effect of silica gel, impurities in the air are adsorbed on the surface of the product, which can also lead to the growth of mold.
Generally, silicone products manufacturers have to consider such factors, so the moldy phenomenon of silicone products in addition to the factors of raw materials, mainly to rely on their own control. For example, some silicone tableware should be placed at a tilt after washing, so that water can naturally flow down, and the silicone sealing ring inside the rice cooker, do not immediately install it after washing, and place it in a ventilated place to dry naturally.
Moldy silica gel products can be wiped with alcohol to remove moldy spots. If the above methods are difficult to solve, we can also choose to use mildewproof agents to treat, the choice of mildewproof agents should have high thermal stability, good weather resistance, low volatility and good compatibility of materials.
