Food Grade Silicone Rubber
Food-grade silicone rubber is an eco-friendly, non-toxic material derived from silicic acid, featuring a colloidal structure with micropores for enhanced durability and flexibility. It resists acids, bases, and high temperatures, making it ideal for food-related applications.
Types of Food Grade Silicone Rubber:
✔ Solid Silicone Rubber – Semi-transparent, cured with a platinum-rhodium complex, perfect for spatulas, rice cookers, and bakeware.
✔ Liquid Silicone Rubber (LSR) – Two-component, highly flexible, and durable, ideal for baby nipples, bottles, and kitchenware.
Widely used in food processing, cookware, and baby products, food-grade silicone rubber ensures safety, heat resistance, and long-lasting performance.
✔ Liquid Silicone Rubber (LSR) – Two-component, highly flexible, and durable, ideal for baby nipples, bottles, and kitchenware.

Silicone Rubber vs. Food-Grade Silicone Rubber: Key Differences
Both silicone rubber and food-grade silicone rubber share properties like flexibility, heat resistance, and durability, but they differ in purity, safety, and applications.
1. Purity & Safety
- Silicone Rubber: General-purpose material, may contain fillers or additives that are not food-safe.
- Food-Grade Silicone Rubber: High-purity, non-toxic, BPA-free, and FDA/LFGB-approved for direct food contact.
2. Heat & Chemical Resistance
- Silicone Rubber: Resistant to high temperatures but may degrade or release harmful substances at extreme conditions.
- Food-Grade Silicone Rubber: Withstands -60°C to 230°C, safe for ovens, microwaves, and dishwashers, and does not react with acids, alkalis, or fats.
3. Porosity & Odor Absorption
- Silicone Rubber: May absorb odors and flavors over time.
- Food-Grade Silicone Rubber: Non-porous, resists odor and stain absorption, making it ideal for kitchenware.
4. Applications
- Silicone Rubber: Used in automotive, industrial, medical, and electronics applications.
- Food-Grade Silicone Rubber: Found in baking mats, baby bottles, kitchen utensils, and food storage containers.
Conclusion
If a product comes into direct contact with food or beverages, food-grade silicone rubber is the best choice due to its safety, purity, and resistance to contamination. Regular silicone rubber is suitable for industrial and general-use applications but is not recommended for food-related products.
