From the perspective of the manufacturer, the problem of aging rubber products
No matter what, there is a life span, and so is rubber. After a long period of use, there will be aging problems. So what are the manifestations of aging for rubber products? What is the cause? Is there a solution? Next, I will talk about it from the perspective of the manufacturer
So what is aging, and what are his manifestations? The specific performance is softening, hardening, stickiness, etc., for example, tires will crack after a long time, which is also a manifestation of aging, and for example, the product has been used for a long time before it is stretched and impact resistant. These are also in general. It is the decline of the physical and chemical properties of rubber products, which is called rubber aging.
What is the reason? In detail, as a rubber product, it may come into contact with oily, corrosive and other liquids. It may also be used as a shock-absorbing and cushioning seal, or tires, etc., or it may be used. To come into contact with bacteria and other microorganisms. It can be seen that due to its excellent performance and economy, it is used in a variety of environments, which also causes it to age easily, which can be summarized into three factors: physics, chemistry, and biology.
Besides, is there any way to prevent the aging of rubber? Unfortunately, this is not true. Just like birth, aging, sickness and death, mobile phones will become stuck after a long period of use. It is inevitable. However, we can delay the aging process. We can start from two aspects: one is to avoid it, and the other is to intervene.
Avoidance is to try to avoid the factors that may cause aging when the rubber products are in use. For example, if the rubber products are not resistant to oil, they should avoid touching the oil. Products that are not resistant to high temperatures should not be exposed to high temperature environments.
Intervention refers to actively adding some anti-aging substances during production time, such as thermal stability, antioxidants, etc.
