How to extend the service life of silicone wristbands?

Silicone bracelets, as a type of silicone jewelry, have a huge market in primary and secondary school students as well as the gift industry. The beautiful appearance of the silicone bracelet is its focus, but in addition to its exquisite and beautiful appearance, the quality of the silicone bracelet is also a concern for many friends. For example, the phenomenon of silicone wristbands breaking and being damaged due to improper use shortly after purchase. What is the reason why silicone wristbands are so fragile, and what methods can be used to improve their quality and lifespan?

The tearing phenomenon of silicone wristbands greatly affects consumers‘ purchasing desire, and to address this issue, it is also a method to improve the service life of silicone wristbands. The key is to choose the appropriate material. High quality raw materials have a good service life, but different market prices naturally produce different quality requirements, so the requirements for raw materials are also different. Brand silicone bracelets usually choose rubber materials with good tensile effects, such as Huawei bracelets, Xiaomi bracelets, etc., while the quality of products sold in comprehensive shopping malls and street vendors is another matter. Therefore, the price of positioning products is still important, but there will still be some differences in material formulas and effects. Good materials may not necessarily be used for brand jewelry, and bad materials may not necessarily be street vendors!

Secondly, there is the issue of workmanship. For silicone wristband manufacturers, the production and processing of products also control the quality of silicone. The quality of products depends on the control of production personnel. The main reason why products are too brittle is because the processing temperature is too high and the vulcanization time is too long, which leads to the product being too brittle and exceeds the temperature range suitable for the material. This manifestation is mainly controlled by the temperature and processing time of the vulcanization machine. During the processing, parameters and mold time cannot be adjusted in any way!

Another major reason is the quality defects of the product, such as small damages during production and cracks during edge trimming in the later process. As silicone material is a material that must be opened when encountering a sharp blade, if the product is damaged by a sharp blade, it is basically impossible to remedy it. Long term stress will gradually increase its tear. Therefore, it is recommended that consumers try not to come into contact with sharp blades when wearing silicone bracelets, otherwise you will lose it!

Finally, the issue with the main structure is also one aspect. Under normal circumstances, silicone material does not have a right angle or a large taper angle structure. If there is, some R chamfers will be added to the corners of the product to maintain roundness. Therefore, in the case of high hardness of the product material, if the product has a certain degree of oblique angle and right angle, it is likely to cause damage and tearing. Another factor is that the hardness of the product determines its tensile strength. The higher the hardness, the greater the brittleness of the product, and combined with the size, thickness, and degree of thickness, tearing and brittleness have a certain impact!

So, in summary, if we want to extend the service life of silicone bracelets, we must strictly control the product materials, workmanship, quality defects, and main structure. Only by strictly controlling these aspects can we produce a qualified product.
