Babies need to use a lot of baby products, such as feeding bottles and assistive spoons. Today, many commonly used baby products are made of food-grade silicone. Food-grade silicone is originally a material often used in cookware, such as spatulas and cake molds. Food-grade silicone has recently become increasingly popular with parents due to its versatility and durability. For example, many parents are increasingly opting for food-grade silicone baby pacifiers rather than plastic pacifiers. This article provides some reasons why parents are turning to food-grade silicone baby products.
What is food-grade silicone?
Silica gel for food is an inorganic polymer colloid material formed by polycondensation of silicic acid. The main component is SiO2·nH2O, and its content is more than 98%. It can be used in baby products because it is non-toxic, tasteless, chemically stable, and has a colloidal structure, it has many micropores and a large specific surface area. This makes it ideal for baby products such as pacifiers .
Why are food-grade silicone baby products so popular?
- Silicone is non-toxic and is a safe material for baby products.
- It is heat resistant, which means it can withstand high temperatures.
- Waterproof and dustproof, suitable for products that need to be cleaned frequently, such as pacifiers or dental rings.
