Why are silicone cups and bowls so popular?

With the development of silica gel daily products, folding silica gel products have been used in POTS and bowls and kettles and cups. Some of them can be heated by electronic kettles and thermos cups, and some of them can be folded manually, but their folding technology has become the whole selling point of the product.  Collapsible silicone products become the travel and outdoor today carry more convenient products, folding bowls and folding cup favored by people, in particular, after the use of direct water can be put into the bag, convenient and quick, take up the space is little, especially when going out, but the best, for this kind of folding silicone products, its design inspiration is in there,  Would you like to know?

Silica gel folding cup is a kind of folding cup which is convenient to carry, hygienic to use and has double wall.  The two adjacent sections of the outer wall are connected by threads, and the two adjacent sections of the inner wall are conical and can be moved up and down.  By rotating the outer wall thread, the inner wall is driven to expand up and down to realize cup folding and stretching kinetic energy.

Silica gel folding cup is made of environmentally friendly, non-toxic and safe food grade silica gel. In our daily life, the most used silica gel kitchen utensils are:  Silica gel cup, silica gel fork, silica gel shovel, silica gel tableware, silica gel bowl, silica gel heat insulation pad, silica gel heat insulation gloves and silica gel pacifier, etc., food grade silica gel is a kind of inorganic polymer colloidal material formed by silicic acid condensation, the main component is mSio2nH2O.  In addition to alkali and hydrofluoric acid, two special cases do not react with any acid and base, the chemical stability is good.  It is often used in silicone baby pacifiers, bottles and other products with high safety requirements.  Heat resistant to 230 degrees.

Before a lot of people asked whether silica gel products meet high temperature will occur chemical reaction emit some chemical raw materials?  The answer is:  Completely can fit into A 100 degrees of boiling water, there will not be burnt, combined disintegration, between high and low temperature resistance – 40 to 230 degrees, there is no problem, because the room temperature vulcanized silicone rubber and meteorology act intensity of white carbon black has A certain toughness, A high temperature baking also won’t appear deformation, ductile failure phenomena, such as silica gel and plastic is different, does not contain BPA (bisphenol A),  For food grade environmental protection products.  Water is a small thing, because the food grade silica material has a variety of unique properties, in addition to high temperature resistance for low temperature environment, climate can also be fully adapted, for stability, silica material main components of silica and silicone and silica,  In addition to the silica gel products manufacturers added to the catalyst (vulcanizing agent) will not conflict with any material, and the catalyst odor can be removed according to the secondary fluidized high temperature baking.

The difficulties of the silicone folding cups folding interval, and in addition to the circular arc, other shapes are difficult to achieve folding effect, drawing mainly by folding the wall thickness of size, usually need to do a small fold in the wall thickness of size to the thickness can be twists and turns back and forth, do the gradient Angle size, usually folded position of wall thickness between 0.5 1 mm,  The folding position can be determined according to the size of the silica gel cup, and the final folding effect is achieved by the strength of the folded part.

The mold production also requires certain skills. When opening the mold, the upper and lower mold closing interface should be minimized. The slope of the product should be determined according to the taper size of the mold, so as to achieve the folding effect.  Therefore, its internal folding point must be made to tilt from the top down or from the bottom up, so that there will be no extrusion expansion problem when folding.

For collapsible silicone cup in the process of silica gel for the product of hardness and material quality has a certain influence, if use low hardness material, subsequent estimate folding strength is not enough, lead to automatically rebound, and high hardness may cause folding strength, folding, second, the product of the material, high strength of silicone rubber material is essential raw materials,  Otherwise, long-term stress compression is likely to lead to product deformation and poor folding effect.

Xiaomeng Life is jointly founded by a designer who focuses on the field of food grade silicone household products, a supplier with more than 25 years of manufacturing experience in the silicone rubber industry, and a group of teams who are keen on innovative business operation on the Internet and advocate the concept of healthy and high-quality life.  The company has hundreds of daily life products in stock, which can meet the needs of different groups of people, and provide users with healthy, high-quality and low-cost household products.
