Bio-Based LSR for Food Contact Molded Components

Released Oct 10, 2026, this novel bio-based LSR reduces fossil carbon content by over 35% compared with conventional liquid silicone rubber. It keeps identical flowability, tear strength and heat resistance, suitable for baby bottle nipples, kitchen utensils and food processing gaskets. The material cures fast in injection molding lines without extra post-treatment, helping food product brands hit carbon reduction targets.

Traditional food-grade silicone relies fully on petroleum-based raw materials. Many consumer goods OEMs now face stricter carbon footprint reporting rules in EU and North America. This bio LSR solves sustainability challenges without sacrificing safety or mechanical performance. Molded parts remain stable under repeated high-temperature sterilization. Sample shipments have started for European kitchenware manufacturers ahead of the end-of-year production upgrade. Industry analysts predict bio-based silicone will capture more food-contact market share over the next two years.
