Does food grade silicone mean edible? Of course not! Once again to emphasize a concept, silicone in general is indeed a safe and non-toxic and harmless raw material to the human body, even so, it can be distinguished into food grade and ordinary grade. Food-grade silicone generally refers to all products that will be in contact with our diet, such as baby pacifiers, straws, utensils, utensils, and so on. Ordinary grade silica gel is generally used for industrial purposes and cannot be applied to such food-related products.

 

Food grade silica gel is generally used to import raw materials, the quality of the raw material selection has been decided at the beginning, so the relevant quality test report is indispensable when purchasing raw materials. This is not to say that the quality of ordinary silicone is not good, but that there are different application areas between the two. Ordinary silica gel products are produced by mixing ordinary silica gel, while food-grade products with higher quality requirements are made of food-grade vapor glue. We know that silica is one of the main components of silica gel, and the purity and density of fumed silica is higher than that of ordinary silica, so it will be different in the finished product, but the difference between the two is not large, mainly in tensile strength. Food-grade silica gel has a reinforcing effect on the tensile properties, so the stretching process will not appear white phenomenon. Therefore, we want to preliminarily identify whether the silicone product is a food grade from this point of view.

 

Food silica gel is an inorganic polymer colloidal material made of silicic acid condensation, non-toxic and tasteless, stable chemical properties, under normal conditions in addition to caustic alkali and hydrofluoric acid, and does not react with any acid and salt. It can withstand the high temperature of 220℃, so it can be used in the microwave oven, and has no effect on the human body. Compared with other materials, it has the characteristics of safer and healthier. Food-grade silicone has strong stable properties and is more in line with the requirements of healthy and safe life.

Food-grade silicone rubber products are silicone products processed from food-grade silicone rubber raw materials. According to the market demand, it must meet the environmental testing requirements of NSF, FDA, ROSH, RECH, etc.

 

FDA is the United States Food and Drug Administration (U.S. Food and Drug Administration), it is an international medical audit authority, authorized by the United States Congress, the federal government, specializing in food and drug management of the highest law enforcement agency. FDA is a government health regulatory monitoring agency comprised of physicians, lawyers, microbiologists, pharmacologists, chemists, and statisticians dedicated to protecting, promoting, and enhancing the health of the nation. Food, drugs, cosmetics and medical devices approved by FDA are safe and effective for the human body. In nearly 100 countries such as the United States, only materials, devices and technologies approved by the FDA can be commercialized for clinical use.

 

 

Food grade silicone is a kind of environmentally friendly silicone, non-toxic, odorless, high transparency, suitable for contact with food with environmentally friendly lunch boxes, bowls and chopsticks and food bags, straws.

 

Food grade silicone soft, good elasticity, kinking resistance, no deformation, no cracking, long service life, cold and high temperature resistance, so widely used in food mold such as chocolate mold, candy mold and kitchen cooking utensils, spatula, clamp and so on.

 

Food-grade silicone is placed at room temperature unchanged yellow, no spray, no white, no fade, no scale in water for a long time, no odor, generally common baby pacifiers, milkers are made of food-grade silicone.
