What are the main causes of silicone wire aging?
Although silicone wire has strong aging resistance, long-term use in harsh environments will still cause aging and performance degradation.
Long-term high temperature baking: working above the rated temperature for a long time will accelerate the aging and hardening of silicone insulation.
Ultraviolet and ozone erosion: outdoor long-term exposure will cause the surface of the wire to crack and peel.
Mechanical friction and extrusion: long-term pulling, bending and friction damage the insulation protective layer.
Chemical corrosion: contact with acid, alkali, oil and organic solvents will corrode the silicone layer.
Overload and high voltage breakdown: long-term overcurrent operation leads to internal heating and insulation damage.
Regular maintenance, avoiding overlimit use, and doing a good job of protection can effectively delay aging and extend service life.
