Is silicone toxic to humans? is silicone products safe for humans to touch it and work with it?2022-06-20T11:40:55+00:00

Silicones are made from quartz sand, a raw material available in practically unlimited quantities. Silicone shows excellent characteristics such as low chemical reactivity, low toxicity, and thermal stability (constancy of properties over a wide temperature range of −100 to 250 °C).
Health Canada states: There are no known health hazards associated with the use of silicone cookware. Silicone rubber does not react with food or beverages or produce any hazardous fumes.
Global Silicones Council has done more than 1,000 studies over many decades have been conducted to assess the safety of silicones. Confirmed silicones’ safety both for human health and the environment
LFGB and FDA are two main safety standards for silicone products. One thing is for sure, silicone products that pass either one of these tests are SAFE for human use.
Do you have material certificates for the silicone used?2022-06-20T11:39:14+00:00

Yes, HB Silicone will offer a raw silicone material test report if needed.

Is silicone product Washable/Dishwasher safe? Is silicone heat resistant?2022-06-20T11:37:43+00:00

Silicone products are 100% (percent) washable and dishwasher safe.
Silicone is a versatile material, it can withstand both hot and cold temperatures.  Silicone products can withstand extreme temperatures way to 260°C and down to as low as -40°C without deforming.
Excellent heat-resistance, non-stick and easy to clean, user-friendly to non-stick cooking pots, etc. that’s why silicone cookware is so popular. Silicone kitchenware can also be Microwave and freezer safe.
What is the softest and hardest you can manufacture the silicone?2022-06-20T11:35:25+00:00

Silicone material can be divided into Liquid silicone and solid silicone. HB Silicone mainly deals with solid silicone materials.  Most of our silicone products fall between 30 and 70 Duro Shore A.
The Softest silicone in 10~30 and 70~80 the hardest are tailor-made materials for projects with specific application needs.
The softer the silicone material, the better elongation, and flexibility.  It can be used for complex structure silicone parts but it can also come with some issues like mold sticking or incomplete vulcanization.
On the contrary, the harder the material, the higher brittleness, and tearability. For silicone products with undercuts or straight angles, will be damaged or torn during demolding or if used improperly. So high durometers are mainly used for simple structure products.  Complex structures always come with a high reject ratio and short service life.
To ensure the silicone products perform as required, choosing the right durometer is important. 30~70 shore A can be applied for most silicone projects. Too soft or too hard will cause problems in production and increase the cost.
Is the silicone the world’s highest food grade silicone and certified by the German LFGB standard and US FDA standard?2022-06-20T11:11:49+00:00

LFGB : The German abbreviation for the Food and Commodities Act – Lebensmittel- und Futtermittelgesetzbuch
FDA: Food and Drug Administration
LFGB and FDA are two main safety standards for silicone products. The difference between LFGB and FDA lies in the different way of testing methods, and LFGB is more comprehensive and more strict.
LFGB is standard mainly for Europe, while FDA is standard in America(though the different country has their own FDA standard, US FDA is internationally applied.)
One thing is for sure, silicone products that pass either one of these tests are SAFE for human use. In terms of pricing,  silicone raw material in LFGB standard will be more expensive than FDA standard,  so FDA is more widely used.
Please tell us in advance if you have special requirements for silicone raw material, and we will choose the right material accordingly. If you have trouble with material selection, our engineer team will give certain suggestions based on the application of silicone products and your target market.
What is your pricing for creating mold/manufacturing production?2022-06-20T08:52:44+00:00
