Nowadays, many people opt for eco-friendly and durable products.Silicone ProductsSilicone tableware, silicone cup pads, and more. 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 and hot climate of the south.
Certainly, besides external influences, the main reasons also include additives in some silicone raw materials, such as silicone oil, colorant powder, and sulfurizing agents, which serve as the nutrient substrates for mold growth. The proliferation of mold leads to the erosion of plant proteins and carbohydrates in the silicone. Additionally, due to the inertness and electrostatic effects of silicone, impurities in the air can adhere to the surface of the products, also contributing to mold growth.
GeneralSilicone Product ManufacturerThese factors must be considered, so when silicone products exhibit mold growth, it is primarily the responsibility of the user to control the situation. For instance, with silicone kitchenware, after washing, it should be tilted to allow water to drain naturally. Additionally, for the silicone seals in rice cookers, do not immediately reassemble them 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 these methods are ineffective, we can opt for a mold inhibitor to treat the product. The choice of mold inhibitor should possess high thermal stability, excellent weather resistance, low volatility, and good compatibility with the material.
