Why do more and more people choose to use food grade silicone products?

One of the most frequently heard topics is that the choice of silicone material must be food-grade, so it is safe. It seems that everyone is more and more aware of this aspect. This is a good thing, but everyone does not know what is food grade. Not all silicones are made of food grade silicone.

Food grade silica gel product is a kind of abbreviation of inorganic polymer colloidal material which is obtained by polycondensation of silicic acid. The main component is SiO2·nH2O, its content is above 98%, it is non-toxic and tasteless, and its chemical properties are stable, and it is under normal state. Except for caustic and hydrofluoric acid, it does not react with any acid-base salt.

The main features of food grade silicone products:

1. Non-toxic, odorless, high transparency, non-yellowing;

2. It is soft and elastic, and it is resistant to kink and deformation. 

3. No cracking, long service life, cold resistance and high temperature resistance; 

4. Has higher tear strength and superior electrical performance; 

It has the advantages of high transparency, odorless, non-yellowing, no frosting, etc., especially solves the problem of black rubber hose blooming, blue product fading, soft, high tear resistance, high insulation, wear resistance, high temperature resistance, Flame retardant, anti-aging, environmental protection, tensile strength, stable performance and other advantages. 

The main use of food grade silicone products

Currently used mainly for food, chocolate molds, candy molds, precision casting, and carbon fiber composite materials, food cake molds, craft ceramics, printing, human organ cloning, household appliances, lighting products, silicone ice trays, etc.
