From Sand to Safety: Why Platinum Silicone Matters for Your Family

 Did you know that silicone actually comes from sand?

It sounds surprising, but the silicone in your kitchen tools and baby products all starts with sand. However, not all silicone is created equal, and the difference matters more than you might think.

🧪 The Journey from Sand to Silicone

Silica, extracted from sand, is processed at high temperatures to create liquid silicone. This liquid is then transformed into the solid silicone products we use every day by adding a curing agent.

Here's what matters most: the type of curing agent used determines the quality, safety, and stability of the final product.

⚗️ Not All Silicone Is the Same: Understanding the Grades

Regular Silicone (Peroxide Cured)

Most commercial silicone products use organic peroxide for curing.

Pros: Lower production costs, suitable for mass production
Cons:

• May have a rubbery or chemical odor
• Can discolor over time
• Lower stability with extended use

Platinum Silicone (Platinum Cured)

This is what VI2AZ uses exclusively.

The platinum curing process leaves zero harmful residues, resulting in completely odor free, non toxic silicone. This is the highest grade silicone approved for food contact, medical devices, and baby products.

🧭 How to Identify Real Platinum Silicone

As a consumer, here's how you can tell if you're getting genuine platinum cured silicone:

1️⃣ Check the Label

• ✅ Look for "Platinum Silicone" or "Platinum Cured" clearly stated
• ⚠️ "Food Grade Silicone" alone doesn't guarantee platinum curing

2️⃣ Do the Smell Test

• ✅ Platinum silicone: Nearly odorless, even when new
• ❌ Regular silicone: Noticeable rubber or chemical smell

3️⃣ Examine Color and Clarity

• ✅ Platinum silicone: Clear, uniform color with good transparency
• ❌ Regular silicone: Slightly cloudy or yellowish tint

4️⃣ Look for International Certifications

Certifications like LFGB, FDA, and JFSL indicate rigorous safety testing.

💡 Important note: LFGB certification (European standard) is particularly strict and typically only platinum silicone passes this test.
