Key Sentence: Domestic compliant low-cyclic-siloxane food liquid silicone shipments jump 45% month-on-month, as manufacturers rush to stock qualified raw materials ahead of the new national food silicone standard in September.
On July 29, 2026, major liquid silicone material suppliers in Guangdong released monthly shipment statistics of food-contact LSR. With only one month left before GB 4806.16-2025 takes official effect, kitchenware, baby bottle and baking mold manufacturers accelerated bulk procurement of zero-D4 low-volatility liquid silicone. The new standard tightens limits on volatile organics and heavy metal precipitation, phasing out ordinary high-cyclic-siloxane food silicone formulas.
Upgraded platinum-cured food LSR fully passes LFGB, FDA and domestic national standard dual testing, with no harmful substance precipitation under long-term high-temperature food contact. Small silicone processors without formula upgrading capacity cut production of food silicone products temporarily, while certified large LSR factories receive continuous overseas orders from Southeast Asia and Latin America.
Industry analysts predict unqualified traditional food liquid silicone will be completely cleared from export markets after September. Manufacturers that finished early formula transformation will maintain stable profit margins and capture more global food silicone market share in Q4 2026.
