Food grade silicone bakewares will not decompose under high temperature baking. The following are detailed reasons and explanations:
1. High chemical stability
Food grade silicone is a polymer composed of siloxane (Si-O) molecular chains, which gives silicone strong thermal stability due to its chemical structure. Even at high temperatures, it will not undergo chemical decomposition or polymer chain breakage.
2. Strong adaptability to high temperatures
The high temperature resistance of food grade silicone can usually reach 230 ° C or even higher. This means that even if baked at high temperatures for a long time, the silicone bakeware can remain in its original state without softening, melting, or decomposing.
3. Does not contain easily decomposable components
Food grade silicone does not contain any components that are easily decomposed at high temperatures, such as plastics, PVC, or toxic additives. Silicone itself is a very stable material that does not release harmful gases or decompose at high temperatures.
4. No plasticizers and BPA
Food grade silicone does not contain harmful plasticizers, BPA (Bisphenol A) and other chemicals, which are typically harmful substances in plastic products that can easily decompose at high temperatures. Silicone baking pans do not have these issues and do not release harmful substances in high temperature environments.
5. Safety under prolonged high temperatures
The high-temperature stability of silicone materials is not limited to short-term baking. Even after prolonged use at high temperatures, food grade silicone will not degrade, melt, or decompose. It does not release harmful substances or gases, maintaining the safety of food.
6. Durability of high-quality silicone materials
High quality food grade silicone materials undergo rigorous production and testing to ensure that they do not undergo any physical or chemical changes under common high-temperature baking conditions. Most certified silicone baking pans can remain intact over long-term use.
7. Material characteristic guarantee
Food grade silicone not only has high temperature resistance, but also has antioxidant and UV resistant properties. This ensures that it will not be damaged by oxidation or ultraviolet radiation when facing the high temperature environment of the oven, and will not decompose or age.
