Storage and maintenance tips for rubber seals to extend service life

As a common sealing solution in the industrial field, the performance of rubber seals directly affects the sealing effect and service life of the equipment. In order to ensure that rubber seals can provide optimal sealing effect and extend their service life, correct storage and maintenance are crucial. Here are some helpful storage and care tips to help you maximize the life of your rubber seals.

1. Storage environment:

Avoid direct sunlight: Rubber seals should be stored in a cool, dry, well-ventilated environment away from direct sunlight to prevent rubber aging and deterioration.

Keep away from chemicals: Avoid storing rubber seals near harmful chemicals or solvents to prevent chemicals from damaging the rubber material.

2. Regular inspection:

Appearance inspection: Regularly check the appearance of rubber seals, pay attention to whether there are cracks, deformations, hardening or other abnormalities, and find and deal with problems in time.

Dimensional inspection: Regularly check the size of the rubber seal to ensure that it meets the design requirements to avoid poor sealing effect caused by size mismatch.

3. Preparation before use:

Clean surface: Before installing the rubber seal, make sure the sealing surface and installation location are clean to avoid dust, impurities or lubricants from affecting the sealing effect.

Lubrication treatment: If necessary, apply an appropriate amount of appropriate lubricant to reduce friction and wear between the rubber seal and the friction surface.

4. Precautions for use:

Avoid excessive compression: When installing rubber seals, avoid excessive compression or stretching to prevent deformation or damage to the seal.

Avoid over-stretching: For elastic rubber seals, avoid over-stretching to ensure their resilience and sealing properties.

5. Regular replacement:

Replace on time: According to the usage and working environment of the rubber seal, replace the seal regularly to avoid leakage or failure caused by aging or damage.

in conclusion:

Proper storage and care are critical to extending the life of your rubber seals. By following the above storage and maintenance tips, you can effectively protect the rubber seal, extend its service life, and ensure the sealing effect and operational stability of the equipment.
