How to extend the service life of rubber joints?
Effective maintenance methods for rubber joints can increase their lifespan. It contains evaporating chemicals in the product, which will reduce its service life in wet, cold or dry natural environments. Therefore, when rubber products are packaged in bags after application, their service life can be extended. The rubber joint is composed of an inner surface layer of rubber, a curtain layer, and a cushion tape to form a tubular rubber product, which is formed by vulcanizing rubber and then connected to a metal flange or a parallel surface joint sleeve flange. What should we do to extend the service life of rubber joints for maintenance and upkeep?
Rubber joints are made of natural rubber, which can corrode over time. Rubber joint products contain evaporative chemicals, which can reduce their lifespan in wet and cold conditions, as well as in dry and harsh natural environments. Therefore, after the application of rubber products, they must be packed in bags and not exposed to the air for a long time, which is also an effective way to improve the service life of silicone products. The basic characteristics of rubber products are that after the rubber joint is made and formed, it is suppressed by high working pressure. Due to the adhesive force of the elastic material, it cannot be removed. In the case of forming and demolding, it usually causes extremely unstable shrinkage (the shrinkage rate of the plastic varies depending on the type of rubber). It is essential to wait for a period of time before it can be relaxed and stabilized. Therefore, at the beginning of the design of rubber and plastic products, whether it is the secret formula of styrene butadiene rubber or the suppression mold of rubber joints, careful calculation and coordination are necessary. Otherwise, it is very easy to cause unstable product specifications and lower product quality.
Rubber joint plastic belongs to the elastic material of thermosetting plastics, while plastic belongs to thermosetting plastics. Due to the different behavior of sulfate type agents, the temperature range of plastic forming and solidification may vary greatly, and it is even possible that the temperature and humidity in the room may be harmful due to changes in climate. Therefore, the production and manufacturing standards of plastic products must be adjusted appropriately anytime and anywhere. If not, it is likely to cause differences in product quality. Due to its excellent comprehensive performance, flexible rubber joints are widely used in foundation engineering such as chemical plants, engineering buildings, water supply and drainage, drainage pipelines, crude oil, light and heavy industries, refrigeration, environmental sanitation, plumbing installation, fire safety, and power engineering.
