Recently, many people have been asking: "Will liquid silicone cause cancer?" "Will using liquid silicone products lead to mold?" These questions have made many people afraid of liquid silicone, especially friends with babies at home or those who often use silicone kitchenware, who worry about it every day. Today, we use scientific facts to answer these two most concerned questions once and for all, break the fear, and let everyone use liquid silicone with confidence. First, let’s answer the first core question: Will liquid silicone cause cancer? The answer is: Qualified liquid silicone will not cause cancer at all! The reason many people have this doubt is that they confuse inferior silicone with qualified liquid silicone. To save costs, inferior silicone adds a lot of harmful additives, which are indeed harmful to health with long-term contact. However, qualified liquid silicone has a pure composition, is environmentally friendly and non-toxic, does not contain any carcinogens, and has passed food-grade and medical-grade certifications. Even if qualified liquid silicone is steamed at high temperatures or chewed by babies for a long time, it will not release any harmful substances, let alone cause cancer. It has extremely strong stability, is resistant to aging and high and low temperatures, and will not deteriorate with long-term use. Whether it is used to make maternal and infant products, intimate clothing, or medical accessories, it can be used with confidence. All cases claiming that liquid silicone causes cancer are caused by inferior silicone, which has nothing to do with qualified liquid silicone. Next, let’s answer the second question: Will liquid silicone mold? The truth is: Qualified liquid silicone itself will not mold! Liquid silicone is waterproof and sweat-resistant, with a smooth surface that is not easy to absorb moisture and food residues. As long as it is cleaned in time after use and kept dry, it will not breed bacteria or mold. There are two main reasons for the mold we usually see on silicone products. The first reason is that the product itself is made of inferior silicone, with impure material and rough surface, which is easy to trap dirt and absorb moisture, leading to mold over time. The second reason is insufficient cleaning. If silicone products are not cleaned in time after use, leaving food residues or moisture, and placed in a humid environment, mold will breed. Therefore, mold is not a problem of liquid silicone itself, but a problem of material and usage habits. In addition, we need to remind everyone of a misunderstanding: many people think that silicone will become toxic and cause cancer after being used for a long time, which is also wrong. Qualified food-grade liquid silicone will not deteriorate or release harmful substances with long-term use. As long as there is no yellowing, stickiness, cracking or peculiar smell, it can be used continuously, and there is no need to worry about safety issues at all. To sum up, the scientific truth is: Qualified liquid silicone will not cause cancer or mold itself; it is a safe, durable and environmentally friendly material. As long as we recognize food-grade certification, choose qualified products, and clean them in time after use, we can use them with confidence and no longer be troubled by rumors.
