Supplier declaration
A supplier declaration for the specific grade used in your mould, confirming food-contact compliance.
Materials
Food-contact silicone, in plain English.
We work in food-contact platinum-cure silicones. Grade selection is driven by what the mould contains and how it's cleaned. Paperwork ships with every order.
Grade selection
We spec around your product and your cleandown — not around a datasheet.
A material choice is a specification job, not a preference. The right grade fits the peak temperature the mould will see, the chemistry that'll clean it, and the product it's in contact with. We'll ask about all three before quoting.
Silicone families we work with
Plain-English names, not spec sheets.
01
Standard food-contact silicone
Platinum-cure food-contact silicone for chiller-to-oven duty. Bakery, patisserie, chocolate. The workhorse.
02
High-temperature food-contact silicone
Grades that tolerate hot-poured sugar and extended bake cycles. For boiled sweet, hard confectionery and high-oven work.
03
Brine and freezer-tolerant silicone
Grades that stay flexible at deep-freeze temperatures and tolerate brine chemistry. For ice-cream and gelato line work.
04
Caustic-tolerant silicone
Grades that survive repeated caustic cleandown for tunnel-wash food manufacturing lines.
05
Softer-shore food-contact silicone
Softer grades for delicate patisserie release — chef-signature dishes with fragile forms.
06
Coloured food-contact silicone
Pigmented food-contact grades where visual identification of tooling matters for line management.
What ships with the mould
The paperwork we supply.
Grade record
The grade used in your mould, recorded against your order for future reference and reorder.
Cavity check record
For portion-critical work, a cavity volume check record at manufacture.
Cleandown recommendation
A written recommendation on the cleandown regime the mould is spec'd for.
Straight talk
On BRCGS, plainly.
Techcraft Industries Culinary Ltd is certificated to the BRCGS Global Standard for Agents and Brokers, Issue 3, with a Grade AA. Alongside that, every order comes with a documented material spec: a supplier declaration for every grade used. If your approval process needs a certificated supplier, we'll send our certificate for your file. See what it covers.
