What are food grade silicone products?

In our daily life, silicone products have become the choice of most consumers, especially used to do some household daily necessities, so food grade silicone products and ordinary material silicone products what is the difference?

Food grade silicone products are a kind of short for inorganic polymer colloidal materials made of silicone acid condensation, its characteristics are: non-toxic, odorless, high transparency, no yellowing; Soft, good elasticity, kink resistance, no deformation, no cracking, long service life, cold and high temperature resistance, and has higher tear strength and superior electrical performance.

Such as baby silicone bibs , silicone cup cover, silicone cup, silicone ice tray, silicone cake mold, etc. All belong to food grade silicone products

At present, the main certifications for food grade silicone products are FDA and LFGB of the European Union.

Food-grade silicone is a non-toxic silicone that does not contain any chemical fillers or by-products and is safe for use in food. Silicon, the natural chemical element that makes up silicon, is a quasi-metal, meaning it has both metallic and non-metallic properties, and is the second most enriched element in the earth's crust after oxygen.

In the silicone industry, the main characteristic of food grade silicone is that it can have a strong tear strength, in the process of use, regardless of elasticity and softness are very good, food grade silicone and medical grade silicone are generally the same effect, high transparency and in the glue is completely non-toxic and odorless will not appear yellow change.
