What is the cause of mold in silicone strips?

Recently, the weather in many areas has a large contrast, one rain and one heat, which is the season when it is more likely to catch a cold! In this season, many products in the environment are prone to moldy growth and black spots, such as in more humid areas! Therefore, many families commonly used silicone kitchenware, silicone daily necessities and so on are prone to this phenomenon, and the appearance of this phenomenon is not only the impact of the environment, such as silicone kitchenware is only one of them, many friends use after cleaning is directly put into the cabinet, and the evaporation of water droplets and sealed cabinets is also one of the phenomena that cause mold, in addition to the strong silica gel adsorption capacity to adsorb foreign bodies in the air plus long-term placement of deterioration, blackening, mold phenomenon is also inevitable!

Therefore, before the appearance of mildew in silicone kitchenware, you should first find out what are the problems of mildew in order to prevent it correctly. In addition to the influence of climate, the main causes of mildew include additives in some silica gel raw materials, such as silicone oil, color gel powder, vulcanizing agent, etc., which are the main nutrients for the growth of these molds. The growth of mold leads to the erosion of plant proteins and carbohydrates in silicone rubber.

In addition, due to the inert and electrostatic effect of silicone rubber, impurities in the air are adsorbed on the surface of the product, which can also lead to the growth of mold.

Ad. Generally, silicone product manufacturers have to consider such factors, so for silicone kitchenware mold in addition to the factors of raw materials, it is mainly necessary to rely on their own control, silicone kitchenware can be placed in a ventilated place to keep dry after cleaning, after the silicone products are cleaned, according to the temperature and humidity in the gaps, choose to dry for 1-2 hours, so that the gaps can dry thoroughly and will not produce mildew. After the appearance of mildew, it can be wiped with alcohol, if several methods are difficult to solve, you can use antifungal agent to treat, antifungal agent should have high thermal stability, good weather resistance, low volatility and good compatibility of materials.

In addition, it is also necessary to choose varieties that are safer for the human body.

It is recommended that there are two methods, 1. If you have used the formula silica gel for too long, remove the water, add a new formula of silica gel, and change the silica gel substance, 2. Use a special silica gel preservative, add preservatives when the raw materials are mixed, and the silica gel will not be moldy.

It can be caused by the growth of bacteria or by a humid environment.

What to do if the silicone is moldy and blackened.

1. Clean with baking soda, baking soda is an alkaline substance, pour baking soda on the moldy spot, add water to mix and wipe back and forth, and generally the skin can be wiped off if it is noisy. 2. Use a mixture of white vinegar and milk, apply it to the place with mildew, let it stand for about 5 minutes, and then brush it with a clean toothbrush. 3. Clean with edible alkali, edible alkali decontamination ability is relatively strong, dilute edible alkali with water, and then pour it in the place with moldy black spots, and then brush it.

4. Wipe with alcohol, dilute the alcohol, and add water to wipe it.

Silicone is an inorganic material in nature and has high chemical stability. Unlike many organic materials, silica gel is not susceptible to contamination and growth by microorganisms. Therefore, the lack of wheels, silicone generally will not be moldy.

First of all, silicone has low moisture absorption, and it does not absorb much moisture even in a humid environment. In the absence of moisture, it is difficult for microorganisms to survive and multiply, therefore, silica gel is not easily attacked by mold.

Secondly, silica gel has good high temperature resistance and corrosion resistance, and is not easy to be eroded by germs. Even if there are some tiny pores or crevices on the surface of the silicone, it will not be a breeding ground for mold.

In addition, silicone is also commonly used in moisture repellents and humidity control products to absorb moisture in the air and keep the surrounding environment dry. This property makes silicone not only less susceptible to mold, but can also be used to prevent mold growth in other items.

However, it is important to note that microbial growth can also occur if silica gel is subjected to long-term exposure to moisture and high levels of organic matter, such as when stored in an airtight bag or airtight container. Therefore, when using silicone, it is best to keep the environment dry and avoid prolonged storage in humid conditions.

In general, as a chemically stable and anti-microbial contamination material, silicone is not susceptible to mold. However, in order to ensure the excellent performance and longevity of silica gel, it is recommended to store it in a dry and ventilated environment and clean and inspect it regularly. <>

Wipe with alcohol.

It is generally due to the humidity and temperature of the outside world, such as humid places such as kitchens and bathrooms, as well as the humid and hot climate in the south. Of course, in addition to the influence of the outside world, the main reason also includes additives in some silica gel raw materials, such as silicone oil, color gel powder, vulcanizing agent, etc. It is the nutrient body that these molds grow.

The growth of mold leads to the erosion of plant proteins, carbohydrates, etc. 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.

Precautions for the use of silicone:

1. When silica gel is made of carbon black, the etching on the outer surface of the silica gel needs to be coarse, so as not to cause the illusion of bright surface.

2. The requirements for the flash of the parting surface source sail pants are less than that.

3. When the color of silica gel is required to be silver, it is necessary to inject oil twice, otherwise it will produce flow pattern.

4. The hardness of silica gel is generally adjusted between 40 degrees and 61 degrees.

5. The hail of silica gel products needs to be treated before the adhesive is applied to have adhesive effect, and the treatment agent cannot overflow on the outer surface of the silica gel product, and the double-sided adhesive needs to be determined according to the adhesive material.

6. Before opening the formal mold, it is generally required to open a cavity model mold to confirm the feasibility of the product, if there is a problem, it can only be changed on the model mold, and the large mold car is generally not easy to modify after it is opened, otherwise the mold life is very short.
