Nowadays, many people are opting for eco-friendly and durable options.Silicone ProductsFor instance, silicone tableware and silicone cup pads. There are also silicone tubes and seals that come with certain electrical appliances. These silicone products are prone to mold and develop black spots in humid environments.Mold is generally caused by external humidity and temperature, such as in damp areas like kitchens and bathrooms, as well as in the humid climate of the southern regions.
Certainly, in addition to external influences, the main reasons also include additives found in some silicone raw materials, such as silicone oil, colorant powder, and vulcanizing agents, which serve as the nutrient substrates for mold growth. The proliferation of mold leads to the erosion of plant proteins and carbohydrates within the silicone. Furthermore, due to the inert nature and electrostatic action of silicone, it allows airborne impurities to adhere to the surface of the product, which can also promote mold growth.
GenerallySilicone Product ManufacturerThese factors must be considered, so when silicone products exhibit mold growth, it's primarily the responsibility of the user to prevent it. For instance, with silicone tableware, after washing, it should be tilted to allow water to drain naturally. Additionally, with the silicone sealing rings in rice cookers, avoid installing them immediately after washing; instead, let them air dry in a well-ventilated area.
Moldy silicone products can be cleaned by wiping with alcohol to remove the mold spots. If the above methods are still ineffective, we can opt for a mold inhibitor for treatment. The choice of mold inhibitor should possess high thermal stability, good weather resistance, low volatility, and good compatibility with the material.
