The core advantages of silicone kitchenware

1. Material safety

Food grade certification: Passed FDA (USA), LFGB (EU), GB 4806 (China) and other standards, free of bisphenol A (BPA) and plasticizers.

Wide temperature resistance range: suitable for environments ranging from -40 ° C to 230 ° C, can be cleaned by microwave, oven, and dishwasher.

2. Function and environmental characteristics

Flexible and durable: Strong tear resistance, with a lifespan 3-5 times longer than traditional plastic products.

Easy to clean: The surface is smooth and non stick, and oil stains are easy to wash away.

Environmentally friendly and recyclable: Some brands have launched biodegradable silicone gel (such as GREEN MAMMA from France).

3. Design diversity

Color and Shape: Macaron color scheme, marble texture, etc. attract young consumers.

Structural innovation: Foldable silicone filter screen, built-in temperature sensing label (color changing to indicate overheating), etc.

Consumer Trends and Driving Factors

1. Health awareness enhancement

After the pandemic, global consumers' attention to "kitchen safety" has increased by 60%, with silicone replacing plastic as the mainstream choice.

2. Small households and outdoor needs

The single economy and camping craze are driving lightweight, portable silicone products such as foldable water bottles and bento boxes.
