Unlock Safer, Cleaner, and Higher-Performing Silicone Products with the Right Curing Process
🧪 Introduction: The Cure Determines the Quality
When it comes to silicone products — whether for baby care, medical use, kitchenware, or beauty tools — the curing system used during molding has a huge impact on the product’s safety, durability, and compliance.
One of the most common questions we hear from clients is:
❓ “Can I just platinum-vulcanize ordinary silicone?” The short answer? Not really — and here’s why.
⚠️ Why You Can’t Simply “Upgrade” Any Silicone to Platinum-Cured
While ordinary silicone (typically peroxide-cured) is widely used, it’s not designed to handle platinum vulcanization. These two curing systems rely on completely different chemical reactions, additivesund processing conditions.
Category | Peroxide-Cured Silicone | Platinum-Cured Silicone |
---|---|---|
Curing Agent | Organic peroxide | Platinum catalyst |
Byproducts | May release residues (e.g. benzene) | No byproducts |
Odor | May have residual smell | Odorless |
Biocompatibility | Not suitable for implants / baby products | Used in medical, baby care |
Anwendungen | General industrial | Medical, food, baby, beauty |
Platinum curing requires specially formulated silicone, free from inhibitors like sulfur, phosphorus, or amines. Trying to cure ordinary silicone with a platinum system leads to incomplete crosslinking, surface defects, or even total failure.
✅ Why Platinum-Cured Silicone Is Worth the Investment
Platinum vulcanization is the gold standard in high-purity applications because it ensures:
-
100% non-toxic: No volatile residues or heavy metal catalysts
-
Superior clarity: Ideal for transparent or aesthetic applications
-
Ultra-high tear strength: For baby teethers, tubing, seals
-
No odor, no discoloration
-
Approved for FDA, LFGB, USP Class VI, ISO 10993 standards
This is why top brands worldwide — from medical startups in Germany to baby product leaders in the U.S. — are switching to platinum-cured silicone for critical applications.
