The cracking of rubber hose is the result of long-term use and environmental factors. Common reasons include the following:
1. Material aging: The material in the rubber hose will gradually age over time, causing its hardness to decrease, strength to decrease, and even cracks.
2. High temperature: In a high temperature environment, the material of the rubber hose is easy to soften or become brittle, resulting in cracking.
3. Ultraviolet light: long-term sunlight exposure will cause the plasticizer, antioxidant and stabilizer in the rubber material to decompose, resulting in hose cracking.
4. Corrosion of chemical substances: Under the erosion of chemically corrosive liquids, rubber hose materials are easy to become fragile, causing cracks.
In order to avoid the occurrence of rubber hose cracking, the following preventive measures can be taken:
1. Keep clean: clean the rubber hose frequently to avoid dust and dirt, so as to avoid oxidation and deterioration of the hose.
2. Choose the right materials: according to different working environments, choose oil resistant and high temperature resistant rubber materials to ensure the quality of the hose.
3. Correct storage and use: Avoid long-term storage in sunlight, rain, greasy and other environments, while in use also need to pay attention to avoid excessive stretching or damage to the hose.
4. Regular replacement: For the rubber hose used for a long time, it should be checked and replaced regularly.
5. Use protective agents: If you need to use rubber hoses in harsh environments such as high temperature and ultraviolet light for a long time, you can use protective agents to coat the hose to extend the service life of the hose.
Rubber hose cracking is the result of a variety of factors, taking the correct preventive measures can effectively avoid the occurrence of cracking. In the actual use process, the rubber hose should be regularly checked and maintained to ensure its normal working condition.
