Will the long-term use of immersion heating tube plastic kettles deform or age due to high temperatures?

2025-03-25

Immersion heating tube plastic kettles are widely used in daily life because of their convenient heating method. The body of a plastic kettle is usually made of specific materials and has a certain heat resistance, so that it can remain stable in a high temperature environment. However, if it is exposed to high temperature for a long time, the plastic may gradually undergo physical or chemical changes, resulting in a certain degree of aging in appearance or structure. For example, in the process of repeated heating and cooling, some materials may gradually lose their original toughness, and the surface may show slight discoloration, brittleness or fine cracks. The extent of this change depends on the quality of the material and the use environment. High-quality food-grade plastics usually have better heat resistance and can remain relatively stable even after long-term use.
Immersion heating tubes are in direct contact with water and heat up quickly in a short time, so the corrosion resistance and heat resistance of the material are important factors in determining its service life. If there is loss or scale accumulation on the surface of the heating tube, it may affect the heating efficiency and indirectly affect the uniformity of the heating of the kettle body. Under reasonable design, the heating tube can work stably and effectively reduce the impact of local high temperature on the kettle body, so that the kettle can maintain a good state in long-term use.
In addition to the characteristics of the material itself, the overall structure of the kettle also affects its durability. Reasonable design can make the kettle body expand and contract evenly when heated, avoiding deformation due to uneven local heating. At the same time, the thickness and strength of the kettle body are also important factors that determine whether it is easy to deform. Some kettles use special processes in the production process to give them better structural stability and reduce the possibility of deformation caused by high temperature. Good sealing design can also reduce the impact of the external environment on the kettle body and further extend its service life.
During long-term use, cleaning and maintenance are also important factors affecting the durability of the kettle. If the kettle is exposed to high temperature for a long time and is not cleaned regularly, scale may adhere to the surface of the kettle body and the heating tube, affecting the heating efficiency and may accelerate the aging process of the plastic. In order to reduce the occurrence of this situation, many kettles are optimized in terms of material selection and surface treatment to make them less susceptible to scale and delay the aging phenomenon caused by long-term use.
The use environment also affects the degree of aging of the kettle. For example, under frequent heating and cooling conditions, the kettle body may experience more obvious thermal expansion and contraction effects, and if it is left empty for a long time or stored dry at high temperatures, the kettle body and heating tube may age faster due to lack of proper protection. Therefore, using the kettle reasonably and avoiding extreme temperature conditions can help delay the aging process and keep the kettle in good condition.
