What are the main differences between medical food silicone rubber and ordinary silicone rubber

At present, silicone rubber is widely used in various fields, such as life, production and so on. Due to different production materials, the produced silicone rubber is also slightly different. For example, medical food silicone rubber can be used as medical appliances, food appliances, baby bottles, etc; Ordinary silicone rubber can be used for some spare parts. Let's briefly introduce the difference between the two.

1、 Purity difference

The purity of medical food silicone rubber is usually higher than that of ordinary silicone rubber, and medical silicone rubber often passes the established test standard, so its safety is also higher. Generally speaking, it will not have any impact on human health. In fact, ordinary silicone rubber is also non-toxic, but its safety can not be compared with medical silicone rubber due to their different components or internal molecular structure.

2、 Different uses

Medical silicone rubber can generally be used in tools in contact with the human body, and can also be used for some body implants, such as silicone rhinoplasty, and even breast augmentation. For medical food silicone rubber, its material, production technology and other requirements are also higher. The production and process requirements of ordinary silicone rubber are relatively low, so in many cases, the cost of ordinary silicone rubber is significantly lower than that of medical silicone rubber.

3、 Different certification standards

The certification standard of medical silicone rubber is more stringent. This is also closely related to the main uses of medical silicone rubber. Moreover, medical silicone rubber has stronger strength, physiological inertia, resilience and other properties. Sometimes it may need to use liquid, foam like silicone rubber or sponge, gel like silicone rubber. Its standard is unmatched by ordinary silicone rubber. Only after such strict certification can it be safely used in medicine, beauty and other aspects.

In short, medical food silicone rubber and ordinary silicone rubber have different functions, and there are great differences in production materials, processes, safety, stability and state diversity. Generally speaking, silicone rubber is becoming more and more popular in the market. Consumers should choose silicone rubber according to their own needs. If it is not used for body part contact, ordinary silicone rubber can also be selected appropriately.
