Prevent aging and deterioration of silicone rubber products
Silicone rubber products in automobiles, such as tires, transmission belts, and dust covers, often age, expand, or become deformed, resulting in deterioration of performance and shortened service life. The aging of silicone rubber products is mainly due to the fact that silicone rubber is an unsaturated polymer hydrocarbon, which easily absorbs oxygen in the air and oxidizes. At the same time, vulcanized silicone rubber has a certain degree of air permeability, and oxygen can easily enter the interior and cause oxidation. Especially direct sunlight can cause rubber to age rapidly. When rubber products are contaminated by gasoline or engine oil, the volume will expand, the gum will become loose, and the elasticity will decrease.
