Material selection · high-temperature food silicone
High-temperature food silicone for hot sugar and long bakes.
Boiled sugar, isomalt and long bakes push silicone hard. The grade has to be chosen for the hottest thing it will see.
Overview
High-temperature food silicone, done properly.
A grade that is fine in the oven can age quickly under hot-poured sugar. Temperature, time and frequency all count.
We specify PFAS-free platinum-cure food-grade silicones with margin above your peak, and record the grade on your order.
What we design for
The details that make this format work.
Hot-pour sugar
Grades suited to boiled sugar and isomalt.
Documented grade
Recorded against your order with a declaration.
Honest limits
We tell you what the grade is not for.
What we ask up front
The same four questions we ask on every job like this.
Grade language, in plain terms
We describe grades as food-contact grade, hot-fill capable, high-temperature capable, or caustic-tolerant, and record the exact spec on paperwork.
Certificates versus declarations
A supplier declaration is a material statement. A certification scheme audits a site. We're clear about which of these we supply.
Grade updates over time
Occasionally a supplier updates a grade. We tell you at reorder if this has happened, before shipping.
Your own approval process
Tell us what your auditor needs. We'd rather find a gap now than after the mould ships.
