Proper storage of silicone tubing is essential to extend its life and maintain its performance. Here are some practical tips for storing silicone tubing.

First, ensure cleanliness. After use, silicone tubing should be thoroughly cleaned to remove any residual liquid or particles. You can use warm water and a mild detergent to clean it, and then rinse it thoroughly with clean water. After cleaning, dry the silicone tubing to ensure that there is no moisture inside and outside.

Second, avoid excessive bending and compression. Silicone tubing should be stored flat and avoid folding or excessive bending, as this will cause material fatigue or damage. Silicone tubing can be rolled into a loose loop and gently secured with an elastic band, but do not tie it too tightly.

Third, choose the right storage environment. Silicone tubing should be stored in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight and high temperature environments. High temperature and ultraviolet rays will accelerate the aging of silicone and reduce its elasticity and durability. The ideal storage temperature is between 15-25 degrees Celsius and the humidity is kept at around 50%.

In addition, avoid contact with corrosive chemicals. Silicone tubes should be kept away from strong acids, strong alkalis and other corrosive chemicals to prevent the material from being corroded and damaged.

In short, by keeping it clean, avoiding compression, choosing a suitable storage environment, and keeping away from chemicals, the service life of the silicone tube can be effectively extended to ensure that it remains in the best condition when it is used again.
