First, the reasons for the yellow rubber tube
1. Oxidation reaction: Long time of sun and rain, artificial light irradiation, etc., will accelerate the oxidation reaction of rubber tubes, resulting in yellow color.
2. Oil: If the rubber tube is used, it is accidentally stained with oil or other impurities, which will accumulate on the surface of the rubber tube for a long time, and will also cause the rubber tube to turn yellow.
3. Storage environment: If the rubber tube storage environment is too wet, too dry or has a strong smell, it will cause the rubber tube to turn yellow.
Second, the method of cleaning rubber tubes
1. Cleaning solution: You can use soapy water, washing powder, white vinegar and other acidic cleaning solution to clean. Mix the cleaning solution with clean water at a ratio of 1:5, and then soak the rubber tube in the cleaning solution for about 10 minutes.
2. Wipe: Use a soft brush or sponge to wipe the surface of the rubber tube. It should be noted that do not use metal tools to wipe the rubber tube to avoid scratching the surface.
3. Rinse: After cleaning, put the rubber tube under running water for 3-5 minutes, and then rinse it thoroughly with clean water.
4. Dry in the shade: air the rubber tube until it is completely dry in the shade, do not be exposed to the sun to avoid yellowing again.
Third, prevent rubber tube yellow
1. Storage environment: When rubber tubes are stored, they should be avoided in places that are too wet, too dry or subject to strong odors.
2. Avoid oil pollution: Avoid contact with oil, acid and alkali and other chemicals when using.
3. Regular cleaning: the rubber tube can be cleaned regularly to reduce the accumulation of dirt and bacteria.
In short, rubber tube yellowing is a very common phenomenon, but we can prevent rubber tube yellowing and extend its service life through careful cleaning and preventive measures.
