Silicone rubber is a popular material for food-related applications because it is non-toxic and inert. It does not interact with food or beverage products, and it can withstand high temperatures. Silicone rubber also has a number of other benefits that make it ideal for use in the food industry. Silicone rubber is very flexible, which makes it ideal for use in applications where there are tight spaces or the need for a seal that can accommodate movement. Silicone rubber also has a very low coefficient of friction, which makes it ideal for conveyor belts and other moving parts in food processing equipment. Silicone rubber is also extremely durable and resistant to tearing. This makes it ideal for applications where food products will be coming into contact with the material on a regular basis.
