Why do transparent silicone products turn yellow?

Hits: 765 img

When silicone product manufacturers produce transparent silicone products, they will find that the originally transparent and colorless silicone products seem to have color. Organic silicone has the properties of temperature resistance and aging resistance. Normally put a few transparent silicone products. Years will not turn yellow. What is the reason for this difference?

1. Vulcanizing agent:
The effect of ordinary non-yellowing vulcanizing agents on the brighter color is different from the effect of light or transparent colors. When ordinary vulcanizing agents are used, light-colored or transparent silicone products can obviously turn yellow.

2. Production process:
When the transparent silicone product is molded, because the machine temperature is too high or the curing time is too long, it is easy to cause the silicone product to turn yellow after molding, so the temperature and curing time of the mold must be strictly controlled.

3. Raw materials:
Adding an anti-yellowing vulcanizing agent to the raw material, if the transparent silicone product still turns yellow after molding, it should be because the raw material's anti-yellowing ability is too poor, you can consider replacing the raw material.
