How to remove the odor of silicone products?

Many people who have purchased silicone products have found that the silicone products they just purchased will have some odors, so are there any quality problems with these silicone products, and how are these odors generated. How to remove the odor on silicone products?

Anyone who knows about silicone products knows that good silicone raw materials are non-toxic and tasteless, but in the production process, they will go through processes such as adding color masterbatches, fluidizing agents, and high-temperature molding by hydraulic presses. A little odor is produced, which is a normal phenomenon, not a problem with the quality of silicone products. In fact, the solution to this problem is very simple, as long as it is placed in a ventilated place for 2-3 days, the smell will disappear.

But to really remove the unpleasant odor of silicone products, the best way is to optimize the selection of silicone raw materials and the vulcanization process.

  1. Silica gel raw materials and production and processing: In order to reduce costs, some silicone product manufacturers often increase a certain share of recycled silica gel, and at the same time also increase a certain share of polluting operating oil; however, these must use environmentally friendly, tasteless and good for silica regeneration. Polluting volatiles have to inhibit and degrade the process oil to complete. Therefore, we need to deal with the odor of silica gel products on the basis of selection from the raw materials and production and processing of silica gel.

For example: choose oil with high flash point and odorless; do not add reclaimed rubber; do not use accelerator CBS; do not use DCP, etc.

2. Vulcanization system and process: Silica gel is a gas-phase glue, and is mixed with an odorless vulcanizing agent, and the silica gel is formed after secondary vulcanization.

Silicone tube is widely used

In recent years, silicone tubes have been widely used in modern industries, defense industries and daily necessities such as aviation, electronics, petroleum, chemical industry, machinery, electrical appliances, medical care, ovens, and food. Its basic purpose is the safe and efficient transfer of specific kinds of fluids, liquids or gases in a given physical, mechanical and chemical environment. Silicone tubing is more used in the transportation, automotive and shipbuilding industries, in the automotive industry. It is mainly a silicone tube used for water cooling and intercooling systems of automobile engines.

Although the silicone tube is an industrial silicone tube, the requirements for quality and performance are also very strict. The application of silicone tubes in the industry is also used in many important systems, and they play a very important role, so the product performance requirements for silicone tubes are also very strict.

Silicone tube is a kind of connection needs that can meet the needs of some large equipment, as well as the needs of catheters. This silicone tube has high elasticity, high elasticity, compression resistance, and long-term use without deformation. At the same time, it can also play a flame retardant role. The silicone tube that is widely used now is made of imported silicone. All are non-toxic, odorless, environmentally friendly, and have the excellent characteristics of high transparency.

Compared with ordinary rubber tubes, silicone tubes have better heat resistance. They can be used in a high temperature environment below 150 degrees without any change in performance, and can still be used in a high temperature environment of 200 degrees Celsius. The effect of using 10,000 times has not changed any performance, so more and more applications are now using large-diameter silicone tubing to replace the original rubber tubing. This change has also increased production security several times. Large diameter silicone tubing has strict requirements.

Silicone tube has excellent electrical insulation properties, aging resistance, chemical stability, oxidation resistance, corrosion resistance, radiation resistance, physiological inertia, good air permeability, high and low temperature resistance, and can be used for a long time at -60℃~250℃. A variety of color options provide the advantage of better aesthetics and are widely loved by everyone. Contact us to order reliable and affordable silicone tubing.

Wastegate Blanket

Hiwowsport Wastegate Blankets are designed to help minimize the heat soak transfer between the main body and actuator body of the wastegate. In doing so, we can help alleviate actuator diaphragm stress while in use, especially under extreme loads, due to extreme heat and dramatic temperature fluctuations. Results will be a more stable operation of the wastegate valve allowing consistent performance of the turbocharger. Another key benefit of the PTP Wastegate Blanket is to protect any nearby lines or components from the heat on the main body of the wastegate.

The Wastegate Blankets are constructed with an outer layer made from pulverized volcanic lava rock (Rated 1800°F Direct Heat / 2500°F Radiant Heat) formed into fabric and woven into a tight mesh weave. These wastegate blankets are internally insulated with high temperature calcium magnesium silicate wool (Rated 1832°F Continuous / 2300°F Peak) overlaid with a high temperature stainless steel mesh for increased durability and improved thermal resistance. The Lava Wastegate Blankets are designed to withstand the harshest of conditions.

Extreme Stainless Steel Heat Shield

Extreme Stainless Steel Heat Shield to Stop 70% of Heat

This heat shield insulation material is easier to install than exhaust wrap, it also reduces more heat from your exhaust pipes and components. Extreme Stainless Steel Heat Shield which can stop exhaust heat up to 70 percent and it is much easier to install.

Rugged Insulation Material

The outer armor of Extreme Stainless Steel Heat Shield is resistant to the elements is a 4 mil this aluminum, giving the exhaust heat shield a long life. We our exclusive BioCool insulation material as the inner pad, bonded to a heavy-duty foil outer layer using a proprietary process. This makes it capable of withstanding  980 Celsius, which allows this heatshield to be placed directly on exhaust systems, turbo manifolds, downpipes and diesel particulate filters . Because this heat shield installs directly on the exhaust system components, it performs better than the clamp-on standoff heatshields that allow heat to escape because they are set above the pipe and not directly insulating it.

Superior Performance

Extreme Stainless Steel Heat Shield also offer superior performance over an all metal exhaust heat shield. The all metal heat shields have conduction with one hot side and one cold side: With Heatshield Armor, there is no metal-to-metal contact layer it uses a thermal break to create real cold side on this heat shield.

This exhaust heat shield material is flexible, easy to cut (you can use a pair of heavy-duty scissors) and may be cleaned after installation.

HEADER WRAP – INFERNO WRAP

principle

Unlike fiberglass and basalt exhaust wraps (which should have an  operating temperature of 1200F); Their header wrap is made from silica filament yarn this makes this header wrap strong and flexible while operating at its designed operating temperature of 2000F continuous and 3000F intermittent.

Application

hiwowsport header wrap will sustain the extreme temperatures that your glowing pipes from turbo, down pipe, header, manifold or racing applications require. Simply put there is not a header or exhaust insulating wrap on the market that will take higher temperatures and last longer. You can actually wrap the header with hiwowsport  Wrap, run it, heat it up, and then unwrap Their hiwowsport Wrap from the header when needed. Fasten header wrap with Thermal-Tie, hose clamps, or wire.

What Are Exhaust Wraps?

Keeping more heat inside your exhaust system has multiple benefits. It increases exhaust system efficiency, reduces under-hood and under-car heat, significantly reduces the amount of heat components near the exhaust system are exposed to, and helps to reduce the risk of severely burning yourself on a hot exhaust pipe when working on your vehicle.

Black Titanium Exhaust Wrap is one of the best ways to keep more heat in your exhaust system, especially when it comes to insulating exhaust header and manifold pipes.hiwowsport has spent decades developing and evolving the best and most durable exhaust wraps available to insulate pipes and reduce the amount of heat they radiate.

Precautions for using Black Titanium Exhaust Wrap

Catalytic Convertors: Wrapping of the catalytic converter is not recommended, as overheating can lead to reduced lifetime of the converter.

Removal: Exhaust wrap is not designed to be moved or removed after it has been heat cycled. After the fibers have been heated, they lose their initial flexibility. This does not reduce the thermal properties of the exhaust wrap. Be aware of this before you decide to remove the wrap. For this reason, you should avoid wrapping any flex-pipes or flex-joints.

Titanium Exhaust Pipe Systems: hiwowsport does NOT recommend wrapping exhausts made of titanium. The alloys used in the production of titanium exhaust systems tend to be thin and are designed to dissipate heat quickly. Wrapping any titanium exhaust pipe, regardless of brand, can hold in too much heat, and make the titanium alloy turn brittle and prone to premature cracking. If you are seeking to reduce the heat on a titanium exhaust system, hiwowsport recommends using alternatives such as our flexible heat shields.

Color Fade: While the performance and properties of Black Titanium wrap does not deteriorate, the black color will fade over time and with use. It will fade faster in higher heat applications such as during racing and on turbo manifolds. If it does fade, it will fade to the color of the Original Titanium wrap.

Benefits of Installing exhaust wrap

Whether it’s a street car, race car or a vehicle that sees a bit of both, installing exhaust wrap provides multiple benefits that increase performance while improving reliability and longevity. Any time you can control and reduce the amount of heat being radiated from your exhaust system, from the headers all the way to the tail pipe, you car, truck or motorcycle will be better off and so will you.

Installing exhaust wrap results in:

Improved reliability due to reduced heat exposure to vehicle components near the exhaust system
Increased engine performance from the exhaust system working more efficiently
Safer work environment when working near hot exhaust
Lower interior temperatures for increased driver/passenger comfort
