Key technologies for maintaining long-term performance of rubber strips seals
Publish Time: 2025-02-17
As a key component in many industrial equipment and daily life, the stability of the long-term performance of rubber strips seals is crucial to ensure the normal operation of the equipment and extend its service life. In order to achieve the long-term performance of rubber strips seals, a number of key technologies have been widely used and continuously optimized.
Material selection is the basis for ensuring the long-term performance of rubber strips seals. High-performance rubber materials, such as fluororubber (FKM), silicone rubber (VMQ), etc., have become the first choice for manufacturing high-quality seals due to their excellent high and low temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, and aging resistance. These materials can maintain stable physical and chemical properties in extreme environments, thereby extending the service life of seals.
The manufacturing process also has an important impact on the long-term performance of rubber strips seals. The use of advanced mold design and precise processing technology can ensure the dimensional accuracy and shape stability of the seals. In addition, by optimizing the vulcanization process, the cross-linking density of the rubber material can be increased, and its mechanical properties and aging resistance can be further enhanced.
During installation and use, correct operation and maintenance are also the key to maintaining the long-term performance of rubber strips seals. During installation, ensure that the gap between the seal and the mating parts is appropriate to avoid excessive compression or stretching, so as not to cause seal failure. During use, the state of the seal should be checked regularly to detect and replace aging or damaged parts in time.
In order to further improve the long-term performance of rubber strips seals, some special treatment technologies can also be used. For example, applying an anti-aging coating on the surface of the seal can delay its aging process caused by environmental factors. At the same time, by adding additives such as antioxidants and light stabilizers, the aging resistance of rubber materials can also be improved.
Environmental factors have a significant impact on the long-term performance of rubber strips seals. Therefore, during use, seals should be avoided from being exposed to harsh environments such as high temperature, humidity, and ultraviolet rays for a long time. For seals that must be exposed to these environments, rubber materials with higher environmental resistance should be selected and additional protective measures should be taken.
In summary, the maintenance of the long-term performance of rubber strips seals requires comprehensive consideration of material selection, manufacturing process, installation and use, special treatment, and environmental factors. By continuously optimizing these key technologies, we can ensure that rubber strip seals can maintain stable sealing performance in various applications, providing a strong guarantee for the normal operation of the equipment.
