Proper usage and storage help maintain the performance and condition of silicone components.
Suitability of Operating Environment
Ensure that the components are used within their designed temperature, medium, and pressure ranges; avoid prolonged operation beyond these limits.
Cleaning Methods
When cleaning silicone components, a soft, damp cloth is generally sufficient for wiping. If a cleaning agent is required, select a neutral detergent; avoid using strong acids, strong bases, or organic solvents, as these may damage the material.
Avoid Undue Stress
During installation or use, avoid puncturing the item with sharp objects, subjecting it to excessive stretching, or leaving it in an unnaturally twisted state for prolonged periods; such actions may accelerate aging or lead to damage.
Storage Conditions
Unused or spare silicone accessories should be stored in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated environment, away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Avoid storing them alongside sharp objects or substances that may trigger chemical reactions.
