Silicones are pliable and bacteria-and-heat resistant and make an ideal durable material for use in the kitchen. Silicone kitchen tool varieties are endless, with products ranging from baking molds and oven mitts to collapsible food containers and sippy cups. A total of 390,000 tons of silicone products is sold into this sector each year and is used in a wide range of final products in the personal care and consumer products sector.
In consumer products, silicones are used to make:
- Household polishes
- Laundry detergents
- Waxes
- Kitchen products
- Baby and infant products
- Sporting goods
- Pet Products
Bakeware and cookware are more sturdy, convenient, easy to use and long-lasting when made with silicone rubber. Cake pans, muffin molds, and baking mats can go from the freezer to the oven, microwave or dishwasher without affecting the quality of the product or the food.
