Question: What is silicone?
Answer: Silicone is a high-activity adsorption material, which is an amorphous substance with a chemical molecular formula of mSiO2·nH2O. It is insoluble in water and any solvent, non-toxic and odorless, with a stable chemical property. It does not react with any substance except strong alkalis and hydrofluoric acid, making it a pure, natural, and environmentally friendly material.

Question: What is the difference between silicone and silica gel?

Answer: Silicone and silicone are the same material, and the different names produced due to regional differences are called silicone in Taiwan and silicone in mainland China. The English name is silicone.

Question: Is silica gel an eco-friendly material?

Answer: Silicone is an eco-friendly material. Silicone is derived from silicon (Si) elements that exist naturally in our environment. It is a recyclable material, such as paper, copper, iron, glass, which can be reused after certain processing. When it burns, it returns to dust to dust, and to earth to earth.

Question: Can silicone come in many colors? Are colored silicones toxic?

Answer: Silicone is essentially colorless, and silicone products are non-toxic. However, due to different grades, silicone can be foggy or transparent. For example, the gaskets of pressure cookers, baby's milk bottles, and the question of whether colored silicone is toxic depends on the quality of the colorant.

Question: Will the surface of silicone products be very bright, and is it toxic?

Answer: The surface luster of silicone is non-toxic, unless the material used for secondary processing is not environmentally friendly.

Question: Does silicone leak?

Answer: Silicone is very water-resistant and remains unaffected in water, such as in scuba diving suits and plastic surgery materials, which are all silicone products.

Question: What is the temperature range that silicone can withstand?

Answer: Silicone can withstand a temperature range of -40 degrees to +230 degrees.

Question: What fields can silicone be used in?

Answer: Silicone is used in a very wide range of fields, including insulating and waterproof materials in the electronics technology industry, cable insulation, shock absorber pads; in the communication industry, buttons, waterproof seal edges; in baby products, such as baby bottles, teats, and teething toys; in the food service industry, eco-friendly tableware, cake molds, baking pans, ice trays, and in the medical industry, such as protective equipment.

Question: How is silicone waste disposed of?

Answer: The recyclable material can be processed and decomposed into polysiloxane after specific treatment. The decomposed material is only used for making molds, not for product production.

Why do you use silicone products? What are the benefits of silicone?

Answer: 1). Environmental friendly and food grade, no residue after burning; 2). Recyclable; 3). Safe and environmental friendly.
