The service life of silicone products

About five to eight years. Silicone is a granular porous silica hydrate, belonging to amorphous substances, with a transparent or milky white appearance. Silicone is made by washing and drying sodium silicate with acid, and its chemical properties are stable and non combustible. Silicone is a highly active adsorbent material mainly used as a desiccant and adsorbent in column chromatography and thin layer chromatography. Generally speaking, it can be divided into two categories: organic silica gel and inorganic silica gel

The lifespan of silicone products varies depending on the manufacturing process. Here are several common silicone products and their service life:

Ordinary solid silicone buttons have a lifespan of around 300000 cycles;

Liquid silicone button, with a lifespan of around 50000 cycles;

Ordinary solid silicone tubing with a lifespan of over 1000 days;

Liquid silicone tubing with a lifespan of over 1500 days;

Ordinary solid silicone miscellaneous parts, with a lifespan of over 300 days;

Liquid silicone miscellaneous parts with a lifespan of over 500 days.

In short, the lifespan of silicone products varies depending on the manufacturing process. Different products, using different processes, will have different lifespans.

The service life of silicone products may vary depending on the usage scenario:

For example, the quality of food grade silicone and medical silicone raw materials can ensure a normal service life of over ten years, and the storage time is unlimited. For some silicone products that have been affected by irregular water, light, heat, moisture, oil, etc. for a long time, such as silicone rubber bands, silicone daily necessities, silicone accessories, etc., their service life will be affected to some extent, but under normal use, there will be no problems within ten years.
