When we use liquid silicone, I believe everyone has encountered different problems to some extent. After sorting and categorizing the liquid silicone problems, I have also provided corresponding solutions for each problem. Let's take a look at the specific problems!
1. Bubbles appear on the surface of silicone gel
Possible reason: No vacuum degassing treatment was performed.
Solution: Silicone is a viscous liquid, and it is normal for bubbles to form when mixed and stirred. After stirring, vacuum degassing should be performed.
2. Thickening phenomenon of liquid silicone gel
Possible reason: Silicone has a shelf life, and as time goes on, the viscosity of silicone will thicken.
Solution: It is recommended to use within the shelf life.
3. Incomplete solidification of liquid silicone gel
Possible reason: The mixture of silicone component A and component B was not stirred evenly.
Solution: When stirring, attention should be paid to scraping the container wall thoroughly.
4. Liquid silicone gel solidifies too quickly
Possible reasons: Excessive proportion of curing agent added, or high ambient temperature.
Solution: Excessive curing agent ratio and high ambient temperature are the main reasons for accelerating the curing of silicone gel. It can be adjusted by reducing the curing agent ratio and controlling the ambient temperature.
The above are some problems and solutions that may be encountered when using liquid silicone gel, which need to be adjusted and handled according to specific situations.
