The Silicone Replacement Plastic Era Begins
Aug 31, 2020
In recent years, as people's demand for daily necessities has increased, their demand for kitchen supplies has become more diversified, and they have become more interested in creative daily necessities. Choosing a new type of non-toxic, environmentally friendly and stable kitchen utensils has also become a hot topic of public concern.
Silica gel, also known as silicic acid gel, is a highly active adsorption material. It is an amorphous substance. The main component is silicon dioxide. It has stable chemical properties and does not burn.
Due to the stable chemical properties of its raw materials, it is resistant to high temperatures, 100% environmentally friendly and non-toxic. It has gradually become a mainstream product with environmental protection concepts in the silicone gift market today and is deeply loved by consumers.
Silica gel is a non-petroleum product and does not rely on increasingly scarce petroleum resources. It is a general trend to become a substitute for similar plastic products. At the same time, silicone products can be applied to many applications that cannot be achieved by plastic products, such as baby pacifiers, human organs, etc. The application prospect is very broad.
The main performance characteristics of silicone products are:
1. Silicone products are non-toxic, tasteless and environmentally friendly;
2. It has a certain degree of softness and strong flexibility;
3. High and low temperature resistance, no harmful substances will be produced after high and low temperature treatment;
4. Good air permeability, not easy to yellow when used;
5. Silicone products have a long service life, which can reach more than two years under normal conditions.
Silica gel due to its good stability and special resistance to high temperature and low temperature, so you can use the microwave oven high temperature heating without deformation or release toxic substances, can also be put in the freezer refrigeration!
It is worth mentioning that the cups and food utensils made of food grade silicone are environmentally friendly and non-toxic, which are completely harmless to human body.The operating temperature of silica gel is generally 0℃--160℃, and the temperature resistance range of raw materials is -40℃ -- 230℃, far more than food plastic products, more than 100℃ does not melt.The process is safe, and even when burned, it only breaks down into silica and water vapor, which are non-toxic.It can be safely used!
