When I first heard the word platinum silicone rubber, I wondered if there was really metal in it (of course, it can't be platinum). But after a preliminary understanding, we should refute a rumor: in theory, there is no platinum in platinum silicone rubber!

Nowadays, silicone rubber has many different forms and synthetic methods. Platinum "Platinum" in platinum silicone rubber is a catalyst used to speed up the synthesis of silicone rubber. In terms of chemical properties, platinum silicone rubber is more stable and will not decompose in heating like inferior silicone rubber. However, it does not rule out that some platinum will be mixed into silicone rubber during processing. However, it doesn't matter. Precious metals such as platinum and gold won't have any reaction with the human body because of their strong "inertia". Moreover, platinum silicone rubber only contains a small amount of metal, which will be excreted with metabolism even if it enters the human body (it's said that in Japan and Taiwan, some people really eat with gold foil in their dishes. Yes, it's the kind made of gold).

Platinum silicone rubber is a kind of silicone rubber, which is a polymer of "Silicon" and "oxygen" - silicone resin (also known as silicone and silicon. It is called silicone in English, and some are also called silicone glue). Although the texture is soft and elastic, it is more like glass in terms of composition (the main component of glass is silica). However, it should be noted that the domestic translation definition of "silicone rubber" is a confused account: many people confuse the silicone rubber used as a mold with the silica gel used as a desiccant. Silicon and silicon gel can be called "silicone rubber" in Chinese, but they are substances with completely different properties and different uses.

silicone rubber products are very popular in China, but platinum silicone rubber products are expensive than common products, and platinum silicone rubber products are also very popular in China, so it's very difficult to distinguish between platinum silicone rubber products and common silicone rubber products.
