How long is the shelf life of thermally conductive silicone foam gaskets? How long can it be used?

 

Thermally conductive silicone foam gasket is a thermally conductive medium material made of silica gel and other auxiliary materials such as metal oxides. The main function is to use the gap to transfer heat, and also play the role of insulation, shock absorption, sealing and so on.

Generally, a thermally conductive silicone foam gasket with good quality can be used for more than 10 years without any problems. In the long-term use of thermally conductive silicone foam gaskets, its own thermal conductivity, thermal resistance and other properties will decline, and there will be material aging and other phenomena that make thermal conductivity and performance not as good as before. Moreover, the difference in material selection and overall production process of thermally conductive silicone foam gaskets produced by different manufacturers results in different service life of thermally conductive silicone foam gaskets. piece to be replaced.

 

Moreover, the way of using the thermal conductive silicone foam gasket will affect its service life, such as: in an unsuitable environment, and use and installation, it is easy to cause it to oxidize, dry, and turn black after long-term use Once the thermal conductive silicone foam gasket has the above conditions, its thermal conductivity will be affected, and it needs to be replaced in time.

 

The shelf life of thermally conductive silicone foam gaskets is related to many factors, the most important of which are product raw materials and molecular composition. The shelf life and durability of raw materials directly determine the shelf life of finished thermally conductive silicone foam gaskets. Generally speaking, the shelf life of thermally conductive silicone foam gaskets can be maintained for at least 6 months to 24 months.
