Food Contact
The secret ingredient to food preparation
Whether meal prepping a week’s worth of lunches for one, operating food processing equipment or cooking in a fast-paced restaurant, consumers expect their kitchenware and food and beverage processing systems to be flexible, functional and reliable. From cake molds, to oven mitts, to the seals, gaskets and tubing used in large-scale food and beverage preparation systems, Dow silicone solutions enhance every aspect of the food preparation and delivery process.
Why silicones?
Dow silicone elastomers enable food preparation products to maintain shape and functionality in high- and low-temperature settings, while meeting industry standards for food and water contact. Additionally, our silicone solutions can be pigmented in a variety of colors for consumer appeal.
Which silicones?
SILASTIC™ Liquid Silicone Rubber (LSR) Solutions are two-part, easily mixed, ready-to-use and quickly heat-cured materials. Designed for liquid injection molding, LSRs combine the performance benefits of silicone elastomers with the design and processing advantages of additive manufacturing. Providing excellent processing performance, fast cure rates, reduced cycle times and lower production costs, LSR’s will help reduce handling and improve throughput.
SILASTIC™ Fluoro Liquid Silicone Rubber (F-LSR) Solutions have all of the benefits of LSRs with the added ability to withstand extreme temperatures and highly aggressive chemicals.
