Is silicone mold toxic?

Silicone molds are some mold glues specially used for making handicrafts. They have many characteristics, such as high corrosion resistance and high temperature resistance. The raw materials of silicone used in silicone molds are very safe and environmentally friendly. They are becoming more and more popular. There are already many silicone products now. Such silicone products can be seen in many areas of our lives. So are silicone molds toxic?

Silicone products can be seen everywhere in our daily life. Silicone molds are used in many places, such as children's toys, stationery, dentures, gifts, etc., all of which require silicone. So are silicone molds toxic? Many people want to know about this issue.

Silicone molds for making food generally meet food grade standards and can be directly held in the mouth. They are generally non-toxic and can be used with confidence.

Silica gel is a highly active adsorption material. Silicone rubber is white and opaque in color. It is an amorphous substance, insoluble in water and any solvent, non-toxic and odorless, with stable chemical properties, and does not react with any substance except strong alkali and hydrofluoric acid. High adsorption performance, good thermal stability, stable chemical properties

Because of its good stability and special resistance to high and low temperatures, silicone can be heated in a microwave oven at high temperatures without deforming or releasing toxic substances, and can also be refrigerated in a refrigerator.

Silicone has a texture closer to human skin and is non-toxic and odorless, so it is healthy for children to use silicone pacifiers. Good silicone has automatic disinfection function, does not stain, and is easy to clean. Now many fashionable families use silicone kitchen utensils because they can cook completely in a microwave, which is more worry-free and time-saving, and more importantly, does not produce fumes.

Silicone mold raw materials

Silicone is becoming more and more popular because of its good environmental performance. To understand the knowledge of silicone molds, you have to start with the raw materials of silicone.

1. Silicone kitchenware raw materials can be divided into ordinary silicone and meteorological silicone according to their performance

Ordinary silica gel is also known as precipitated silica gel

Color: translucent, milky white, light yellow, gray, etc.

Hardness: 30°, 40°, 50°, 60°, 70°, etc., commonly used is between 40°-70°.

Density: 1.1-1.12g/cm3

Elongation:400%

Application: It is widely used in mobile phone buttons, miscellaneous parts, conductive adhesives and other low- and medium-end silicone products.

Weather glue is also known as pure silica gel

Color: Transparent.

Hardness: 30°, 40°, 50°, 60°, 70°, 80°, etc., commonly used is between 40°-60°.

Density: 1.1-1.12g/cm2

Elongation: 600%-700%

Features: This material has good transparency and strong tensile strength. High cost

Application: Silicone tubes, protective covers and other high-end products that require high elasticity.

2. Silicone raw materials can be divided into solid silicone and liquid silicone according to their physical properties.

Are silicone molds toxic? You can use some silicone products with confidence. The silicone molds used now are very safe and comply with national safety. You can rest assured when using them. Don’t worry too much. After all, manufacturers are responsible for us, especially silicone products used by children.
