Analysis On Aging Causes Of Food Grade Silicone Tube
Food grade silicone tubes are widely used for food transmission.
Many users worry about their service life and aging reasons.
We clearly split all causes into external and internal categories.
1. External Environmental Causes
Oxygen, oxides and ozone damage silicone molecular chains.
Rising atmospheric ozone increases chemical corrosion.
It breaks molecular structures and causes ozone cracking.
Aging becomes worse on deformed tube surfaces.
Oxygen reacts with silicone molecules.
It breaks internal chain structures and reduces performance.
Water soaking, rain and damp air erode tube materials.
Long-time outdoor exposure speeds up aging even more.
Heat, light radiation and mechanical fatigue add further damage.
2. Internal Structural Causes
The type of silicone rubber affects anti-aging ability.
Different molding processes bring different stability levels.
Molecular bonding strength directly determines durability.
Unreasonable formula ratios reduce overall stability.
Improper production processes also bring hidden aging risks.
Conclusion
Proper application environment and qualified raw materials can extend service life.
Taihua Silicone provides stable, anti-aging tubes for safe food contact use.
