The function of silicone sealing rings should be better understood than others. Sealing rings are used in hydraulic and pneumatic systems, as well as various mechanical equipment and components, to seal when stationary or moving in specified pressures, temperatures, and different liquid and gas media. Today, let‘s talk about how to use and store silicone sealing rings.

Silicone sealing rings cannot be reused. Secondly, when loading the sealing ring into the groove, care should be taken not to deform the silicone sealing ring. Sealing media can be considered on the groove and O-ring.

If silicone sealing rings are not used, try not to open the original packing to prevent the silicone sealing rings from being damaged by dust or falling into impurities on the surface of the silicone sealing rings.

If you want to preserve silicone seals, try to avoid direct sunlight or place them near boilers and other high-temperature heat sources to prevent premature aging of the silicone seals. During the storage process, the silicone sealing ring appears as a white powder, so there is no need to worry as it will not affect the performance and service life of the silicone sealing ring.

The main storage conditions for silicone sealing rings are as follows:

1. Humidity: The relative humidity of the warehouse should be less than 70% to avoid being too wet or too dry and to prevent condensation.

2. Temperature: 5-25 ℃ is the ideal storage temperature. Avoid contact with heat sources and sunlight. Before use, the seal removed from low-temperature storage should be placed in an environment of 20 ℃.

3. Light: Avoid sunlight and strong artificial light sources containing ultraviolet rays. UV resistant bags provide the best protection. Suggest painting the windows of the warehouse with red or orange paint or film.

4. Oxygen and ozone: Silicone materials should be avoided from exposure to circulating air. This can be achieved through packaging, wrapping, storage in a sealed container, or other appropriate methods. Ozone is harmful to most elastomers, and the following equipment should be avoided in warehouses: mercury vapor lamps, high-voltage electrical equipment, etc.

5. Deformation: Rubber components should be placed as freely as possible to avoid tension, compression, or other deformations.
