Seals are often stored as spare parts for a longer period of time. In order to avoid the external factors from affecting the physical and chemical properties of the O ring, thus damaging the elastomer, the following rules should be observed during storage: – Store in a dry place. – The s torage temperature ranges from +5°C to +25°C, and avoid direct contact with heat source. – Avoid direct exposure to sunlight or neon light. – Keep in original boxes or airtight containers to prevent oxidation. – Keep away from harmful gas sources (e.g. ozone) to preven t damage to the elastomer. – Do not tie and hang O rings on nails or metal wires with thin cords , which may deform and damage the O ring. – Discoloration and white powder (frosting) may occur during storage, but it does not affect the function of the O ring.
