There are many common problems with liquid silicone not solidifying, among which the most common problems include the use of expired silicone, insufficient mixing of silicone, low or high ambient temperature, and mixing of silicone with other chemicals. When using liquid silicone, we need to pay attention to these issues to avoid unnecessary waste and loss.
Firstly, the use of expired silicone is one of the main reasons for the non curing of silicone. As a chemical substance, the shelf life of silicone is limited. Once the shelf life is exceeded, the curing performance of silicone will be affected, resulting in the inability to achieve the expected effect. Therefore, when purchasing silicone, we must pay attention to the production date and expiration date of the product, and avoid using expired silicone.
Secondly, silicone gel needs to be thoroughly stirred and evenly mixed before use. If the silicone is not thoroughly stirred evenly, the components inside will be unevenly distributed, resulting in the inability of the silicone to cure. Therefore, when using liquid silicone, we should carefully read the product manual and stir according to the correct method to ensure that the components of the silicone are fully and evenly mixed.
In addition, environmental temperature can also affect the curing effect of silicone. If the ambient temperature is too low or too high, it can cause the curing speed of silicone to be too slow or too fast, thereby affecting the curing effect. Therefore, when using silicone, we need to choose an appropriate ambient temperature to ensure that the silicone can complete the curing process within the normal curing time.
Finally, mixing silicone with other chemicals can also cause silicone to not solidify. Some chemical substances may react with silicone gel, affecting its curing performance. Therefore, when using silicone, we need to avoid mixing it with other chemicals to avoid affecting the curing effect of silicone.
In summary, there are many common problems with liquid silicone not curing. However, as long as we pay attention to the above points, choose the appropriate silicone, mix it correctly, control the ambient temperature, and avoid mixing it with other chemicals, we can effectively avoid the occurrence of silicone not curing, ensure that silicone can cure normally, and play its due role. I hope the above content can help everyone better understand the usage methods and precautions of liquid silicone.
