How to avoid aging caused by stainless steel mesh belts

Stainless steel mesh belts should follow a development path of technological innovation. Our stainless steel mesh belt manufacturers only need to increase their skill investment, change their development ideas, and adopt a structural industry innovation format. An effective way should be to make certain improvements based on the characteristics of the product. For problems that arise during use, find ways to overcome them. The best approach is to solve them. In cases where they cannot be completely solved, it is important to consider the actual situation and avoid such problems. So what are the factors that cause aging of stainless steel mesh belts?
1. Oxygen: Oxygen undergoes free radical chain reaction with rubber molecules in rubber, causing the molecular chains of stainless steel mesh to break or excessively crosslink, resulting in changes in rubber properties. Oxidation is one of the important causes of rubber aging.
2. Ozone and its chemical activity are much higher than oxygen, with greater destructive power. It also causes the molecular chains of stainless steel mesh to break, but the effect of ozone on rubber varies depending on whether the rubber deforms or not. When used as rubber for deformation (mainly unsaturated rubber), cracks perpendicular to the direction of stress appear, known as "ozone cracking"; When applied to deformed rubber, only an oxide film is formed on the surface without cracking.
3. Heat: Increasing the temperature can cause thermal cracking or cross-linking of rubber. But the basic function of heat is still activation. Improving the diffusion rate of oxygen and activating the oxidation reaction, thereby accelerating the oxidation reaction rate of rubber, is a common aging phenomenon - thermal oxygen aging.
4. Mechanical stress: Under repeated mechanical stress and continuous friction with the rollers, stainless steel mesh belts can cause rubber molecular chains to break and generate free radicals, triggering oxidation chain reactions and forming mechanochemical processes.
