What are the reasons for the deformation and non rebound of the silicone bowl?

Time:2024-06-20 Views:261
The characteristics of silicone materials are one of the main reasons for the softening and deformation of silicone bowls. Silicone is a polymer elastomer with high elasticity and flexibility, but also has a certain coefficient of thermal expansion and temperature resistance range. When silicone bowls are exposed to high temperature environments, such as hot water, hot food, etc., the silicone material will expand due to heat, causing the bowl body to become soft and may also deform after long-term use.

Improper production processes may also cause the silicone bowl to become soft and deformed. During the production process of silicone bowls, factors such as insufficient vulcanization time, high or low vulcanization temperature, and improper dosage of vulcanizing agent may affect the degree of crosslinking and physical properties of silicone, leading to softening and deformation of the silicone bowl.

During use, silicone bowls may also deform if they are frequently subjected to external forces such as collisions and falls, or if they bear heavy food for a long time. Especially during the use by children, due to their relatively weak awareness of the use and protection of items, it is more likely to cause damage and deformation of silicone bowls.

The maintenance and usage methods of silicone bowls are also one of the factors that affect the softening and deformation of silicone bowls. If the silicone bowl is not properly maintained during use, such as wiping hard during cleaning or scratching with sharp objects, it may damage the surface of the silicone bowl, causing it to become soft and deformed. Meanwhile, if the silicone bowl is exposed to unfavorable environments such as humidity and high temperature for a long time, it may also accelerate its aging and deformation.

The reasons for the softening and long-term deformation of silicone bowls are multifaceted, including the characteristics of silicone materials, production processes, external forces during use, as well as maintenance and usage methods. In order to extend the service life of silicone bowls and reduce deformation and softening, we need to pay attention to the following points:

1.During use, it is important to avoid external forces such as collisions and falls on the silicone bowl, and to avoid carrying heavy food for extended periods of time. At the same time, educate children on the correct use and protection of silicone bowls to avoid human damage.
2. During use, try to avoid exposing the silicone bowl to high temperatures, such as hot water, hot food, etc. If hot food needs to be served, it can be cooled to a suitable temperature before being placed in a silicone bowl.
3. When cleaning the silicone bowl, use a mild detergent and soft sponge to wipe it, and avoid using sharp objects or excessively rough fabrics to scratch the surface of the silicone bowl. After cleaning, it should be dried in a timely manner to avoid prolonged exposure to humid environments.
4.If the silicone bowl is not used for a long time, it should be placed in a dry and cool place, avoiding direct sunlight and high temperature baking.
