Resistant to the build-up of residues, silicone is a wonderful alternative to single-use plastics, as it can be cleaned and used repeatedly, dramatically cutting down on plastic pollution.
A Robust, Hygienic Material Solution
With a high level of resilience to temperature, non-stick properties, and its generally robust nature, silicone is used across the kitchenware, healthcare, construction, and transportation industries. Silicone products are non-toxic, have a long life, retain their integrity, and are resistant to any form of corrosion.
A recyclable, eco-friendly material, there is minimal risk of any environmental pollution during Silicone’s raw material industrial production process. Plus, Silicone does not produce any harmful substances upon combustion. This is a high-performing product solution.
