Basic information

Food grade silicone is a type of silicone that is specifically designed for use in the food industry. It is made with Platinum cured silicone, which ensures its high quality and safety. These food grade silicone products have a very low glass transition temperature, making them ideal for various food applications.

One of the notable features of food grade silicone is its transparency. This allows users to see through the material and observe the fabric reinforcement that it is reinforced with. The fabric reinforcement is made of multiple plies of knit polyester, which adds strength and durability to the silicone product.

When it comes to temperature resistance, food grade silicone can withstand a wide range of temperatures. It can handle temperatures as low as 50°C and as high as 180°C, making it suitable for both hot and cold food processing.

In terms of availability, food grade silicone products come in various sizes and shapes. They can be purchased in straight, straight reducers, elbow 90 degree, elbow 45 degree, elbow 135 degree, and 180-degree configurations. If you have specific requirements or designs, bespoke shapes can also be developed upon request.

Food grade silicone is widely used in the food industry due to its exceptional properties. It is FDA approved, meaning it meets the strict safety standards set by the Food and Drug Administration. It is specifically formulated to minimize food taint and reduce the buildup of bacteria, resulting in lower maintenance costs in the long run.
