EEA product dimensional change during long-term storage
Problem Phenomenon
EEA products after 3 months of storage show dimensional change of ±2-3% exceeding the ±0.5% requirement
Cause Analysis
EEA physical aging relaxation causing continuous dimensional change; secondary crystallization slowly changing density and dimensions; slow migration of low molecular substances changing local density
Solution
1) Anneal products at 80°C/4h before leaving the factory to stabilize dimensions; 2) Select high molecular weight grade to reduce low molecular substances; 3) Slight crosslinking to reduce molecular chain mobility and inhibit aging; 4) Control storage environment temperature at 23±2°C to reduce temperature change influence
Key Takeaway
Dimensional change is caused by physical aging; annealing treatment and slight crosslinking are measures to stabilize dimensions
