What are silicone products?

Silicone products are various items made from a special material called silicone. It's not the same as the "silicon" found in electronic products. Here's a breakdown of silicone products:

■ Core Material: Silicone

Silicone itself is a soft, elastic, and somewhat rubbery synthetic material. It's made by combining silicon (a naturally occurring element, like the main component of sand) with other chemicals.
It has several excellent properties: very high temperature resistance (can be used in ovens or boiling water), very low temperature resistance (freezing is not a problem), resistant to deformation and aging (long lifespan), soft and elastic, chemically stable (doesn't easily react with other substances), non-toxic and odorless (food-grade and medical-grade safety), waterproof and insulating (non-conductive).

■ A Great Helper in the Kitchen (Kitchen Utensils)

This is the most common type of silicone product, mainly using food-grade silicone.
Examples: Silicone spatulas, ladles, scrapers, steamer mats, baking molds, heat-resistant gloves, cup lids, food covers, ice trays, kneading mats, etc.
Benefits: Heat-resistant, won't scratch cookware, easy to clean, won't mold, easy to fold and store.

■ Thoughtful Products for Babies and Mothers (Maternity and Baby Products)

Because of its safety and non-toxicity, silicone is widely used in maternity and baby products.
Examples: Baby pacifiers, bottle nipples, teething toys, soft-tipped spoons, bibs, baby food storage containers, bath toys, etc.
Benefits: Safe and reliable material (safe for babies to chew on), soft and comfortable (won't hurt baby's gums), durable and long-lasting, easy to clean and sterilize.

■ A Reliable Partner in Health and Medicine (Medical and Healthcare)

Medical-grade silicone has good biocompatibility, is safe and reliable, and is widely used in the medical and healthcare fields.
Examples: Components of some medical devices (such as catheters, drainage tubes), prosthetic materials for plastic surgery, scar sheets, pressure sore protection pads, dental impression materials, contact lenses (some materials), physiotherapy equipment, etc.
Benefits: Good body tolerance, stable properties, can be implanted or in contact with the human body for a long time.

■ Unsung Heroes in the Industrial and Electronics Fields (Industrial Electronics)

The insulating, sealing, and weather-resistant properties of silicone make it indispensable in a wide range of industrial products and electronic devices.
Examples: Seals and gaskets of various shapes (waterproof and dustproof), shock-absorbing pads, keyboard protective films, mobile phone case linings, wire and cable insulation layers, LED lampshades, molds, etc.
Benefits: Good sealing performance, reliable insulation, resistance to high and low temperatures, anti-aging properties, and cushioning and shock absorption.

■ Personal Care and Beauty Products (Personal Care)

The softness and ease of cleaning of silicone have also led to its use in the personal care field.
Examples: Facial cleansing brush heads, silicone facial cleansing pads, makeup sponges, powder puffs, bath brushes, combs, hair curler pads, etc.
Benefits: Delicate and skin-friendly feel, less prone to bacterial growth, quick-drying, and easy to clean.

■ Other Little Surprises in Everyday Life (Other Products)

Silicone has a very wide range of uses and appears in many unexpected places.
Examples: Sports water bottle nozzles, sports watch straps, door stopper buffer pads, furniture leg pads, pet food bowls, succulent plant pots, creative stationery, adult products, etc.
Benefits: Flexible design, versatile functionality, durable and practical.
