Can liquid silicone be disinfected with hot water?
Silicone itself is very stable, and if it has already passed the food grade, it will not easily change. However, it is important to pay attention to the usage environment and avoid baking at temperatures above 250 degrees Celsius. Food grade silicone materials have various unique properties, and can fully adapt to low temperature environments and climates in addition to high temperature resistance. In terms of stability, the main components of silicone materials are silica, silicone resin, and white carbon black. Except for the catalysts (vulcanizing agents) added by silicone product manufacturers, they will not conflict with any substances, and the odor of catalysts can be removed by secondary fluidized high-temperature baking.
Liquid silicone is an extremely easy to clean material that does not require the use of chemicals such as detergent for cleaning. In addition, silicone has excellent waterproof performance. In addition to pure silicone products, many of them are made of multi material metal plastic composite materials bonded together. Therefore, it is recommended to boil and disinfect for 5-15 minutes. In addition to boiling with hot water, silicone products produced by regular mold silicone manufacturers can also be used in microwaves, which is very convenient. However, it is also important to avoid purchasing counterfeit and inferior products, as they may cause harm to the body.
Generally speaking, legitimate liquid silicone products can be boiled in boiling water, which can have a disinfection and sterilization effect without producing any toxic substances. Food grade silicone is often solidified and formed using liquid silicone, with a high temperature resistance range of -60 ℃ -230 ℃. Therefore, it can be directly disinfected by boiling in water.
