Preventing aging and deterioration of silicone rubber products

Silicone rubber products on cars, such as tires, transmission belts, and dust covers, often experience aging, expansion, or deformation, resulting in poor performance and shorter service life. The aging of silicone rubber products is mainly due to the fact that silicone rubber is an unsaturated polymer hydrocarbon, which is easy to absorb oxygen in the air and oxidize. At the same time, vulcanized silicone rubber also has a certain degree of breathability, and oxygen is easy to enter the interior for oxidation. Especially direct sunlight can promote rapid aging of rubber. After rubber products are contaminated with gasoline or engine oil, it can cause volume expansion, gum loosening, and decreased elasticity.
