Maintaining platinum vulcanized silicone tube can be done from the following aspects:
1. Use environment
Temperature control: Although platinum vulcanized silicone tube is resistant to high temperature, long-term use in high temperature environment will still accelerate its aging. Therefore, try to avoid exposing the silicone tube to an environment that exceeds its operating temperature range. At the same time, when storing, you should also choose a cool, ventilated, and dry place to avoid direct sunlight and high-temperature baking.
Chemical environment: Silicone tubes have good stability to a variety of chemical substances, but they still need to avoid direct contact with corrosive substances such as strong acids and strong alkalis to avoid chemical reactions that cause damage to the silicone tube.
2. Cleaning and maintenance
Regular cleaning: For silicone tubes in use, they should be cleaned regularly to remove dirt and residues on the surface. When cleaning, you can use a mild detergent and avoid using corrosive detergents such as strong acids and strong alkalis. After cleaning, you should rinse thoroughly and wipe dry with a clean cloth or blow dry with compressed air to prevent residual moisture from causing the silicone tube to become damp.
