Technical Tip – Checking if Silicone is in fine condition to use
At HITEK we supply a lot of products that are made of Silicone which means regular checks are required to see if the material is useable.

To determine if silicone has gone bad involves a few key things:

  • Visual Inspection
  • Texture and Flexibility
  • Odour
  • Expiration Date
  • Storage Conditions
    If you have any queries or concerns regarding silicone conditioning, please enquire on our technical advice page here: Technical Advice – HITEK Electronic Materials LTD (hitek-ltd.co.uk)

Technical Tip – Shelf Life, Pot Life and Working Life

Technical data sheet terminology can be confusing at times. We at HITEK have asked several people what they believe Shelf Life, Pot Life, Working Life and Gel Time mean, and we received mixed answers. For that reason, our Technical Manager @DavidMcAllister has put together a great technical tip document highlighting many key points that should help with any queries that you may have about these topics.
