Is it normal for food grade silicone hose to have a smell? First of all, silicone tubes are generally odorless, and food grade stainless steel silicone hose is made of Perkin metal catalysts. Some types of silicone liquids sometimes have a slight smell due to methacrylates, etc. But if the food-grade stainless steel silicone should not have a strong odor after molding. Silicone products have a smell, so is this smell harmful? How to eliminate it?
From the perspective of raw materials
Silicone is a natural, low-carbon and environmentally friendly raw material. Silicone materials for different purposes can pass relevant testing standards. For example, baby bottles and nipples meet the food-grade stainless steel silicone standards. Silicone medical accessories meet medical grade standards. If you don’t believe the test report, then the love of this product in Europe and the United States is the best proof.
Silicone kitchen utensils, silicone cake molds, silicone spoons are everywhere in every corner of life. There are also some silicone omelettes, all of which are high-temp molded with food-grade stainless steel silicone. For silicone products with a smell, this smell is not harmful, and it does not harm the body. The molding of silicone products mainly relies on this to catalyze the reaction molding. If you encounter a silicone product with such a smell, put the product in a cool place to dry, and the smell will dissipate. This smell is mainly caused by a large number of silicone products concentrated together, thus causing such a smell.
Therefore, food grade silicone hose is safe enough even there is a smell. However, you have to choose a reliable supplier first. Because the hose quality is quite different from different suppliers. So it’s really important to choose a famous brand. Here I recommend you Hiteck which has 10 years’ experience. It’s a reliable supplier that you can trust.
