Application of Silicone Resin in the Food Industry

Hits: 130 img

Coating aspects of food processing equipment  
Many food processing processes use various types of metal equipment, such as baking equipment, steaming equipment, conveying pipelines, etc. Silicone resin can be coated on the surface of these devices to form a coating, which has the following advantages:
Good high temperature resistance: In food processing, such as baking food, the internal temperature of the oven is high, and the silicone resin coating can withstand such high temperature environment, maintain stability for a long time, and will not easily decompose or fall off, ensuring the normal use of equipment and the smooth progress of food processing.
Non stick: For baking trays, cake molds, etc., if coated with a silicone resin coating, it is easy to remove the food from the mold after baking without sticking, which not only facilitates food processing operations but also helps maintain the complete appearance of the food.
High chemical stability: Faced with some food additives and acidic components that may come into contact during food processing (such as acidic substances in fermented food processing), silicone resin coatings can maintain stability and will not react chemically with these substances to mix into food, ensuring the safety and quality of food.
In terms of food packaging materials
Some food packaging materials may use silicone resin to enhance performance, such as:
Barrier layer of composite materials: In some multi-layer composite food packaging materials, silicone resin can be used as a barrier layer component, which helps to block external oxygen, water vapor, etc. from entering the interior of the packaging, delaying the oxidation, moisture and deterioration of food, and extending the shelf life of food. For example, some high-end food packaging such as biscuits and nuts will use composite packaging materials with the participation of silicone resin.
Sealing material: Sealing materials made of silicone resin, such as sealing strips, are used for sealing food containers, such as sealing strips for can bottle caps and preservation boxes. They can form a good sealing effect, prevent external air from entering, and better maintain the freshness of food during storage.
In terms of food contact products
Kitchenware coating: As mentioned earlier, non stick coatings on kitchenware such as non stick pans, frying pans, and electric pans are often made of silicone resin. During cooking, food comes into contact with the coating, and the non stick nature of the silicone coating facilitates cooking operations. It also meets food contact safety standards and does not transfer harmful substances to food, ensuring the safety of cooking food.
However, the application of silicone resin in the food industry must strictly comply with relevant food contact material safety standards to ensure that its use does not pose any potential risks to human health.
