Does silicone have a shelf life? What is the shelf life of silicone desiccants?

Firstly, we know that desiccants need to play a role in moisture and mold prevention, so the material must be able to achieve high adsorption strength, have certain advantages in acid-base reactions, slow aging rate, insolubility, and strong chemical stability. Only then can it be stored for a long time. Silicone material is a highly active adsorbent material that cannot tolerate any substances and has strong adsorption capacity. It mainly absorbs water vapor through adsorption, and silicone material has strong stability, and long-term storage will not cause any aging or depletion, so its effectiveness and lifespan as a desiccant are completely stable.
During the service life of silica gel desiccant, experimental methods can be used. If stored in a dry and liquid free environment for a long time, it will have a certain moisture-proof and mildew proof effect. If used in environments with high humidity and severe ozone, the service life will be reduced. In the case of water seepage, it takes about a year, but without water seepage, it can be used for a long time. Its lifespan is entirely determined by the environment, but it can be used for a long time after normal storage.

The use of desiccants is very extensive in the industry, and this auxiliary material has also made desiccant materials a production conversion category in the manufacturing industry. Desiccant materials can also be divided into many types. At present, there are mineral desiccants, fiber desiccants, quicklime materials, montmorillonite desiccants, activated alumina and silica gel desiccants, etc. Nowadays, silicone desiccants are commonly used as static items, and no one will move them casually, so they can still achieve good results in moisture and mold prevention!
