What material is silica gel?

Literally, silica gel is a porous solid silica material with large specific surface area. Silica gel is an amorphous substance and a highly active adsorption material. Compared with other similar materials, silica gel has many advantages, such as high adsorption performance, stable chemical properties (it does not react with any substance except strong alkali and strong acid), good thermal stability and high mechanical strength.

Silica gel can be divided into macroporous silica gel, B-type silica gel, coarse silica gel and fine silica gel according to its pore size. According to its composition and shape, it is divided into extruded silica gel and molded silica gel; According to its properties and components, it can be divided into two categories: organic silica gel and inorganic silica gel.

Use of silica gel

Silica gel is mainly used in aviation, cutting-edge technology, special materials in military technology departments, architecture, electronics and electricity, automobiles, machinery, chemical industry, light industry, medicine and medical treatment. Inorganic silica gel is mainly used as desiccant, catalyst carrier, matting agent, toothpaste abrasive and so on. Silicone products have good toughness and elasticity, will not be deformed by external forces, and are non-toxic, tasteless and colorless, without any harm to human body.

Is it safe to use silicone products?

Silica gel, because of its good stability, is particularly resistant to high and low temperatures. It can be heated at high temperature in the microwave oven without deformation and release of toxic substances, and can also be stored in the refrigerator!

Silica gel is non-toxic and tasteless because its texture is close to human skin, so the pacifier made of silica gel for children is also very healthy. Moreover, good silica gel has the function of automatic disinfection, will not get dirty and is easy to clean. Nowadays, many fashionable families use silicone kitchenware, because it can be cooked in the microwave oven, which is more worry-free and time-saving, and more importantly, it will not produce lampblack.

Everyone has a love of beauty. Nowadays, many women like plastic surgery and breast augmentation. The raw material for breast augmentation is silica gel. Although silica gel is harmless to adults, it is a big ban for breast-fed babies. Silicone will enter the baby through breast milk, which will affect the baby's growth and health. Therefore, silicone breast augmentation is harmful to the baby's breastfeeding. Therefore, don't breastfeed when breast augmentation.
