With the further improvement of the industrial level, more and more people will use a large number of silicone rubber products in life, the most common two kinds of silicone rubber products, can be divided into ordinary silicone rubber products and food grade silicone rubber products.
Food grade silicone daily necessities have irreplaceable characteristics, first of all non-toxic and tasteless is basic, followed by the use of life and performance must be prominent, compared with other ordinary materials, the difference is that high temperature resistance is not deformed, toughness is stronger, such as not bumpy after falling, can be long-term twists and turns, kneading, non-sticky oil, long-term placement without mold, discoloration and other characteristics, This is also the ordinary material and other materials can not be compared.
Silicone rubber is widely used in food, all kinds of silicone rubber kitchenware, silicone rubber tableware can be produced, and it is through quality inspection. In fact, food grade silicone rubber has been found in ordinary people's homes, and the most common is the gasket used for sealing in the pressure cooker, which is easy to clean and non-toxic. Its application in the kitchenware industry can be seen everywhere, taking the silicone rubber shovel as an example, it is characterized by flexibility, more fit to the bottom of the pot, its water resistance, oil resistance, non-stick pan, easy to clean characteristics are also loved by the majority of consumers. Silicone rubber pacifier even if it is boiled in boiling water, it will not be deformed, will not produce odor, etc., and has many advantages, so it has become the choice of many parents.
Do you know how to identify food grade silicone rubber? Today, Xiaobian will teach you a few tips, and learn these tips to easily solve the identification of food grade silicone rubber.
1. Smell method. The silicone rubber products close to the nose to smell, there is a pungent smell is ordinary silicone rubber, on the contrary is food grade silicone rubber. Ordinary silicone rubber with pungent smell, is not environmentally friendly silicone rubber. The food grade silicone rubber is non-toxic and tasteless, and is environmentally friendly silicone rubber.
2. Hard pulling method.

(Sometimes it will not be white, because the manufacturer has by-products generated in the production of vulcanization process, so there will be a light smell, but it is the same food-grade silicone rubber, which will not affect the quality of the product, and this smell can be eliminated by itself).
3. Baking method. In addition to special silicone rubber, the general temperature resistance of ordinary silicone rubber can only reach about 150 degrees, while food-grade silicone rubber can withstand high temperature of 250 degrees, and the temperature resistance can be as high as 350 degrees in a short time.
4. Require manufacturers or merchants to improve FDA food grade certification.
