Platinum silicone is a premium type of silicone that uses platinum, a precious metal, as a catalyst in the manufacturing process, enhancing its quality and safety.
This material is ideal for making molds or products that come into contact with food. Due to its purity and safety, platinum silicone is often used in sensitive applications like baby bottle nipples and medical supplies for hospitals.
In short, platinum silicone is the highest grade of silicone available for food-related products. That’s why we use it for our silicone baby feeding items—to ensure your family gets the best possible quality. Platinum-grade silicone guarantees no toxins are absorbed into your child’s food, making it perfect for baby plates, bowls, cups, spoons, and more.
Medical-grade silicones, like the ones we use, are cured with platinum. This ensures our silicone baby products are completely free from harmful chemicals such as BPA, BPS, BPF, PVC, lead, cadmium, phthalates, formaldehyde, PAHs, and nitrosamines.
There are different grades of silicone—standard, food-grade, and medical-grade. Silicone can be cured using either peroxide or platinum. While peroxide curing is cheaper, it involves the use of fillers, resulting in contaminants similar to those found in plastic. In contrast, platinum curing, though more expensive, produces cleaner, purer silicone with no fillers or byproducts.
