Silicone rubber specific anti-mildew agent
I. Pain Points in the Industry of Silicone Rubber Products Against Mold Growth
Silicone rubber sealing rings, kitchenware, wearable accessories, and medical consumables are often exposed to humid, sealed, and highly oily environments, making them prone to adsorbing mold spores and breeding mold species such as Aspergillus niger and Mucor. As a result, they may develop mold spots, odors, and lose their luster.
Ordinary silicone rubber does not have its own antibacterial ability. The presence of mold can damage the surface texture and shorten the product's service life. For food, baby care, and medical products, there are also hygiene safety risks. Adding a special silicone rubber anti-mold agent is the core solution for preventing problems at the source.
II. Mechanism of Action of Silicone Rubber Mold Resistant Agents
Employ a silver-zinc composite inorganic slow-release anti-mildew system, combined with a silicon-compatible nano carrier:
Silver ions rapidly damage the cell membranes of mold, inhibit spore germination, and temporarily prevent the growth of mold.
Zinc ions can effectively interfere with the metabolic enzymes of mold, continuously inhibiting the growth of mycelia, thus achieving long-term protection.
The anti-mold components are evenly embedded within the silicon rubber base material. It not only provides surface protection but also is resistant to water washing, sweat stains, and does not easily disintegrate or lose its properties.
Adapt to two mainstream production processes of silicone rubber:
High-temperature solid silicone rubber: Mixed and added during the rubber compounding stage, and molded and vulcanized in one step for complete formation.
Liquid LSR silicone rubber: Mix the raw materials directly before injection, without affecting the flow and molding performance.
III. Core Product Advantages
Broad-spectrum and highly effective mold prevention, reaching the 0-level mold prevention standard
The antibacterial and anti-mildew rate for various common molds and bacteria is ≥ 99.9%, meeting the testing requirements for long-term use in humid and hot environments.
High-temperature-resistant compatible silicone rubber vulcanization process
High thermal stability, capable of withstanding the high-temperature vulcanization processing of silicone rubber. The processing is free of volatiles, does not yellow, does not fog, and does not affect the transparency and colorability of the silicone rubber.
Highly compatible with the silicone rubber system
Does not interfere with platinum or ordinary sulfurizing agents, does not alter the physical properties such as stretching, rebound and sealing of silicone rubber, and is evenly dispersed without agglomerated white spots.
Environmental protection and safety, compliance in multiple scenarios
Free of formaldehyde and irritating organic harmful substances, in compliance with RoHS and food contact regulations. Suitable for use in mother and baby products, medical equipment, and kitchenware silicone. Skin-friendly and non-irritating.
Low addition amount, long-lasting and weather-resistant
A small amount of addition can achieve full-cycle mold prevention. In high humidity, rainy season, and long-term water immersion scenarios, the mold prevention effect decays slowly, and it is in sync with the service life of the product.
