Introduction: Silicone Melting Temperature & Its Critical Role
Silicone, a versatile synthetic polymer, is widely used in baby essentials due to its safety and durability. Understanding its melting temperature is vital—especially for products like silicone baby teether and silicone baby tableware (bowl, cup, plate, bibs) that interact with heat during use or sterilization. This article breaks down silicone’s melting properties, influencing factors, and practical implications for baby products.
What Is the Typical Melting Temperature of Silicone?
Silicone boasts a high melting point compared to many materials, generally ranging from 200°C to 260°C (392°F to 500°F). Most food-grade silicone used in baby products has a melting temperature around 230°C (446°F), well above daily use temperatures (e.g., hot food, boiling water for sterilization). This heat resistance ensures silicone baby bowl and silicone teething ring stay stable without melting or releasing toxins.
