Can silicone Cups Contain Hot Water?

Silicone has a wide range of applications in our lives. The silicone material is internationally recognized as a safe, non-toxic material, colorless and odorless, and is harmless to the environment. And because silicone has excellent high temperature resistance, low temperature, water repellency, physiological inertness and other characteristics after vulcanization; therefore, silicone acts as a thing that can be seen everywhere in our lives.

Silicone can be divided into: general purpose silica gel, high temperature and low temperature silica gel. Ordinary silica gel, which is solid silica gel, has an instantaneous temperature resistance of 350 degrees Celsius, which means that the ordinary silica gel can be taken out in a high-temperature oven for one second without any problem. Moreover, the silicone cup has been tested to be safe to use between -40°C and 240°C, and the silicone cup will not undergo physical or chemical changes!

Can a silicone cup hold hot water? In fact, the above is already clear. The silicone cup can withstand a temperature of -40℃~240℃, and its high temperature resistance is higher than the highest temperature of hot water. From this, it is concluded that the silicone cup can hold hot water. Some people are also worried that if you use a silicone cup, will the silicone release toxic substances when exposed to hot water? The answer is no. The properties of silica gel itself are very stable. Whether it is chemical properties or physical mechanical properties, changes with temperature are very small. Therefore, you can safely use the silicone cup to drink hot water.
