Key sentence: Platinum-cured low-odor liquid silicone rubber eliminates post-cure odor and simplifies production for kitchenware and baby product manufacturers.

A global silicone material supplier rolled out a new low-odor food-grade LSR on October 8, targeting high-volume injection molding for food containers, baby pacifiers and kitchen utensils. The liquid silicone rubber achieves ultra-low volatile organic compounds and passes BfR and FDA food contact certification. It removes the requirement for time-consuming post-curing, cutting molding cycle time and factory energy consumption.

This LSR delivers high tear strength and excellent transparency, supporting complex thin-wall molded parts. Many molders face customer complaints of residual silicone odor on finished food-grade goods; this new formulation addresses the pain point directly. Custom hardness options from Shore A 20 to 70 are available. Suppliers report rising sample requests from Southeast Asia and North America kitchenware factories, as buyers seek compliant silicone materials with simplified processing workflows.
