Meet food-contact standards

Comply with regulations. Gain a performance edge. Expand your opportunities.
When you are fabricating elastomeric products or parts that must meet food-contact standards, proven Silastic® brand silicone elastomers can enable you to do more.

• Meet FDA 21 CFR 177.2600 and BfR, XV standards
• Fabricate parts that perform reliably under challenging conditions
• Achieve design freedom
• Create products for a wide range of applications

In addition to food-contact capability, Silastic silicone elastomers give you a unique combination of performance advantages organic and thermoplastic elastomers cannot match, including:

• Non-toxic, non-irritating, ordorless, and tasteless qualities
• Better high- and low-temperature resistance
• Greater flexibility across a wider temperature range
• A range of hardness options that enable you to tailor the texture and feel of your products

This makes Silastic silicone elastomers the ideal choice for a wide range of food-contact products and applications, including silicone bakeware, kitchenware, and utensils; food and beverage delivery systems; and infant and baby care products ranging from baby bottle nipples and sippy cups to soothers and teething rings.

Ensure food-contact success

To ensure that your final fabricated product is suitable for food-contact use, Dow Corning's technical experts will work with you to recommend appropriate products and processing methods.

Meet a wide range of global industry specifications and performance tests
Silastic silicone elastomers can be tailored or custom compounded to meet a wide range of temperature resistance requirements, including high heat, heat aging, fire resistance, and flame retardancy.
