The usage and precautions of silica gel powder mainly depend on its application field. The following are the general usage methods and relevant precautions of silica gel powder:
Use method
Mattress filling:
Preparation: Make sure the outer fabric of the mattress is clean and dust-free.
Filling: According to the design and requirements of the mattress, evenly fill the inner layer of the mattress with an appropriate amount of silica gel powder.
Fixation: Use stitching or other methods to seal the mattress to ensure that the silica gel powder does not leak out.
Desiccant:
Choose a container: Prepare a container with good air permeability (such as a mesh bag).
Filling: Put an appropriate amount of silica gel powder into the container.
Placement: Place the container in an environment where moisture absorption is required, such as a wardrobe, shoe cabinet, etc.
Cosmetics:
Formula making: In the cosmetic formula, add an appropriate amount of silica gel powder as needed.
Stir evenly: Make sure that the silica gel powder is fully mixed with other ingredients to avoid caking.
Ink and coating:
Addition: Adding silica gel powder to ink or coating usually requires a test to determine the appropriate amount of addition.
Mixing: Use a stirrer to mix thoroughly to ensure uniform dispersion.
Precautions
Moisture-proof: Silicone powder should be stored in a dry environment to prevent moisture absorption and performance degradation.
Avoid high temperature: Silicone powder may lose some properties in a high temperature environment and should be avoided from long-term exposure to high temperature conditions.
Safety protection: When using, try to avoid direct inhalation of silicone powder to avoid irritation to the respiratory tract. Masks and gloves can be worn.
Avoid contact with chemicals: Silicone powder should avoid contact with strong acids, strong alkalis and other chemicals to prevent affecting its performance.
Test compatibility: Before using in cosmetics or other products, it is recommended to conduct a small-scale test to ensure that it will not cause skin allergies or other discomfort.
Storage conditions: Silicone powder should be stored in a sealed container to avoid contact with air to maintain its activity and performance.
Summary: Silicone powder is widely used due to its good performance, but attention should be paid to safety and performance maintenance when using it. Depending on the specific application, reasonable use and storage can give full play to the advantages of silicone powder.
