How to buy silicone kitchenware

Silicone kitchenware is a kind of household cooking appliance, its safety is very important, we must find a regular manufacturer when buying, and need to have the product’s food-grade environmental certification test report Or the raw materials of the FDA, LFGB certification test report, in the purchase of the time we should also pay attention to the selection of their use of kitchen appliances, to correctly distinguish between the use of individual kitchen appliances, must use the nose to smell the product before purchase Strict silicone kitchen utensils in the case of heat and cold should not have any smell, wipe on the white paper will not have any off-color phenomenon.

Factors affecting silicone kitchenware

Viscosity.
Liquid, the quasi-liquid or quasi-solid material flow resistance of the volume characteristics, that is, by external forces when the flow of the internal friction between molecules or flow resistance. Usually, viscosity is proportional to hardness.
Hardness.
The local resistance of a material to being pressed into its surface by a hard object is called hardness. Silicone rubber has a 10 to 80 shore hardness range, which gives the designer full freedom to choose the required hardness to best achieve a specific function. A variety of intermediate hardness values can be achieved by mixing polymer substrates, fillers, and additives in different proportions. Similarly, the time and temperature of curing can also change the hardness without damaging other physical properties.
Tensile strength.
Tensile strength is the force per unit range required to cause a sample of rubber material to tear. The tensile strength of hot-vulcanized solid silicone rubber ranges from 4.0 MPA to 12.5 MPA. The tensile strength of rubber ranges from 8.7 MPA to 12.1 MPA. The tensile strength of liquid silicone rubber ranges from 3.6 MPA to 11.0 MPA.
Tear strength.
Resistance to the extension of a cut or nick by applying force to a cut specimen. Hot-vulcanized solid silicone rubber is protected from tearing even after being cut and subjected to extremely high torsional stress. The tear strength of hot-vulcanized solid silicone rubber ranges from 9 to 55 KN / M. The tear strength of fluoro silicone rubber ranges from 17.5 Kn / m to 46.4 Kn / M. The tear strength of liquid silicone rubber ranges from 11.5 to 52 KN / M.
Elongation.
This is usually referred to as “limit rupture elongation” or the percentage increase in length relative to the original length when the sample is fractured. The general elongation of vulcanized solid silicone rubber ranges from 90% to 1120 %. The average elongation of fluoro silicone rubber is between 159 and 699 %. The average elongation of liquid silicone rubber is between 220 and 900 %. The elongation can be changed greatly by different processing methods and the choice of hardener. The elongation of silicone rubber is closely related to temperature.

Operation Time.
The operating time is calculated from the moment the vulcanizing agent is added to the GEL. The operating time and the later curing time are not complete limits. The Gel has been cured of the moment the curing agent is added This operating time means that the product’s 30 minutes of curing reaction can not affect the quality of the finished product. Therefore, the more time-saving the operation of the product, the more beneficial it is to the finished product.
Curing time.
Some would say curing time. That is to say, after such a long time, the vulcanization of Silica Gel is over. This basically means that the product is ready to use, but in fact, there is still a very small part of the curing reaction is not over. So products made with silicone rubber, such as silicone molds, usually sit for a while before being put into use.

Vulcanizing agent parameters of Silica Gel

The proportion of vulcanizing agent for Silica Gel.
Silicone rubber is the most common two-component vulcanized silicone rubber. When not in use, silicone rubber is divided into two parts: COLLOID and vulcanizing agent. In general, only the weight of the colloid should be considered, and in special cases, the weight of other additives of the Silica Gel should be considered. For example, the use of pad printing silicone vulcanization agent proportion needs to be based on the total weight of silicone and silicone oil added to calculate.
