Silicone rubber is a compound composed of silicon and oxygen. It has excellent high and low temperature resistance, wear resistance, aging resistance, waterproof, acid and alkali resistance and other properties. Therefore, silicone rubber is widely used in the manufacture of baby products, such as baby bottles, pacifiers, nursing devices, baby toys, teethers, etc.
What is Food-grade silicone rubber?
Food-grade silicone rubber is mainly composed of inorganic polymer colloid materials formed by the condensation polymerization of silicic acid. The main component is SiO2·nH2O, with a content of more than 98%. It is non-toxic, tasteless and has stable chemical properties. Under normal conditions, does not react with any acid or alkali salts except caustic alkali and hydrofluoric acid.
Compared with traditional plastic products, silicone rubber baby products have the following advantages: first, they are not easy to deform, maintain a stable shape, and will not be deformed or damaged. second, they are not easy to breed bacteria, have a certain self-cleaning ability, and are not easy to breed mold and bacteria. Third, there are no plasticizers, bisphenol A and other harmful substances, which are harmless to the health of infants and young children.
Examples of Mother and Child Care Products Using LSR:
Pacifiers and Teething Toys: LSR’s soft texture and durability make it ideal for products designed to soothe babies and aid in teething.
Bottle Nipples: LSR bottle nipples offer a natural feel and flexibility, similar to breastfeeding.
Feeding Spoons and Utensils: LSR utensils are soft on gums and provide a comfortable feeding experience.
Liquid silicone baby bottle: Liquid silicone baby bottles not only have all the properties of baby bottles made of other materials, but also have excellent special properties. Liquid silicone baby bottles have good elasticity. The elasticity of silicone is different from rubber. It will not be the hard elasticity. The elasticity of liquid silicone is soft and delicate. When the liquid silicone bottle is filled with hot water, it will feel like human skin.
