Silicone is flexible and bacteria and heat resistant, which makes it an ideal
material for use in the kitchen. Thanks to its flexibility, light weight, easy
cleaning and hygienic and allergy-friendly properties, it is especially
practical for baby food bowls, bibs, cutlery and toys.
Although it is not a “100% natural” material like rubber, food grade
silicone is a non-toxic polymer, mainly made of silica (sand). It can
withstand heating and freezing without leaching or degassing hazardous
chemicals – unlike plastic, which contaminates food in these environments.
It is also odor and stain resistant, hypoallergenic, and very easy to clean
due to its smooth surface. For these reasons, and because it is soft rubber
and does not break, it is the perfect material for environmentally friendly
and non-toxic baby products.
Benefits of food grade silicone:
- Silicone is resistant to damage and from extreme temperatures.
- Silicone does not harden, tear, peel and crumble, and does not dry
or rot. - Silicone is lightweight, saves space, and easy to transport.
- Silicone is made Made of an abundant natural resource.
- Silicone is Non-toxic and odorless – contains no BPA, latex or lead.
- Silicone can be recycled 100% in selected places and is considered
non-hazardous waste. - What is food grade silicone?
- Food grade silicone is a non-toxic type of silicone that does not
contain chemical fillers or by-products, making it safe to use with
food. Silicon, the naturally occurring chemical element that makes
up silicone, is a metalloid, meaning that it has properties of both
metals and non-metals and is the second most abundant element in
the earth’s crust after oxygen. - The silicone molecule consists of silicon and oxygen. Due to its
resilience, non-porous surface and durability, food grade silicone is
a bit like the Superman of silicones. - Food grade silicone can be a safer and more practical alternative to
plastic, due to its easy cleaning and hygienic properties, its elasticity
and non-porous surface that does not allow bacteria to stick. Food
grade silicone has high flexibility, light weight, easy cleaning and
hygienic and hypoallergenic properties (it has no open pores to
accommodate bacteria). Therefore, it is especially practical for
snack containers, bibs, mats, protective sleeves and bath toys.
