Oil seal storage:

The life of rubber seal products is largely influenced by environmental factors such as oxygen, odor, temperature, humidity, and the like. Therefore, their proper storage is very important. If the rubber is stored properly, the performance of the rubber product will hardly change for a long period of time (several years). The room for rubber products should be kept clean, dry, dust-free and well ventilated. The temperature is maintained between +20°C~10°C. Otherwise it will lead to shortened service life. Oil seals must be stored in a dry and ozone-free and dark environment, and should be placed horizontally in their original packaging. Indoor relative humidity ≤ 65%. The interior curtains should be red or orange. Never use blue curtains and prevent UV light. Electrical equipment and other devices that generate ultraviolet and high voltage electric fields must not be placed indoors. It is recommended to store according to DIN 7716 or ISO 2230.
