FDA Compliant Silicone
Welcome to our FDA Compliant Silicone Info Brochure! Here you will find out everything you need to know about this versatile material, its advantages, production, possible uses and ideal care and cleaning, and above all why we use FDA-compliant silicone when we deem it necessary. Let's dive into the world of silicone together!
Discover the advantages of FDA-compliant silicone: environmental compatibility and easy handling
What is FDA Compliant Silicone?
FDA Compliant Silicone is a high-quality material that meets the strict regulations of the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA). It is safe for food contact and can be used safely in the kitchen and around the house. Silicone is an elastic polymer composed of silicon, oxygen, hydrogen and carbon. Silicone is therefore not petroleum-based and is not plastic.
Benefits of FDA Compliant Silicone
1. Environmental sustainability
Silicone is an environmentally friendly choice. It is durable and can be reused for many years without losing quality. Unlike plastic or single-use products, silicone waste's longevity reduces environmental impact and helps protect our planet.
2. Easy handling
Silicone is flexible, heat resistant and non-stick. This makes handling in the kitchen and in the household easier. You can bend, stretch, fold, and even drop silicone utensils without losing their shape or quality. They are also scratch-resistant and gentle on your pots and pans.
3. Versatile application possibilities
Silicone is used in many areas. In the kitchen, you can use it for baking pans, whisks, spatulas, and silicone baking mats. Silicone lids, sealing rings and mats for hot pots and pans are practical in the household. The possibilities are almost endless!
4. Protection function
Silicone comes in different degrees of hardness, from soft to hard. Depending on the degree of hardness, silicone always offers the best properties for the specific application. Whether as a soft seal to cushion shocks or as a hard material to ensure stability.
Production and use of silicone
Silicone is made by a chemical reaction between silicon, oxygen, hydrogen and carbon. The result is an elastic polymer that can be cast into a variety of shapes. After curing, it retains its flexibility and durability.
In the kitchen, you can use silicone utensils for stirring, mixing, and baking. They are heat resistant and safe to use in ovens and microwaves. The non-stick coating makes it easy to remove food and simplifies cleaning.
In the home, silicone lids provide an airtight seal for all types of containers. O-rings can seal leaks on bottles or other containers. Silicone pads protect surfaces from heat and scratches.
Ideal care and cleaning of silicone
Silicone is an easy-care material. To keep it in optimal condition, please note the following tips:
- Rinse silicone utensils with warm water and mild detergent after use.
- Avoid aggressive cleaning agents as they could damage the silicone.
- Silicone can also be cleaned in the dishwasher, but pay attention to the manufacturer's instructions. Use low temperatures for this.
- Avoid using sharp tools or objects with sharp edges to avoid scratches or cuts.
- After cleaning, allow silicone utensils to dry thoroughly before storing them away.
Silicone in everyday life: examples in the kitchen and in the home
Imagine you don't just want to use your Smaco Box at home, but use it for a light, zero-waste summer picnic. Isn't it practical that the silicone seal turns your ever-durable glass box into an almost airtight transport box?
Silicone comes in handy wherever hard material needs to be sealed, making life easier and greener! It is a safe, versatile and eco-friendly material that offers numerous benefits in the kitchen and around the home.
We hope that this information has given you a comprehensive overview of FDA-compliant silicone and that you are as convinced as we are that glass combined with silicone is the ideal combination to combine sustainability with a touch of luxury.
