Why LANON Liquid Silicone Gloves Do Not Release Silicone
Some people worry that silicone products may release silicone onto food or skin during use. This concern usually comes from the behavior of silicone oil, which can move and spread easily because of its small and free-flowing molecular structure.
However, LANON liquid silicone gloves work very differently from silicone oil-based materials.
The key difference lies in the structure of liquid silicone rubber and the quality of the manufacturing process behind it.
Silicone Oil and Silicone Rubber Are Different
Although both belong to the silicone family, silicone oil and liquid silicone rubber have completely different physical structures and performance characteristics.
Silicone oil contains small, free-moving molecules. Because these molecules are not chemically locked together, they can migrate or spread onto surrounding surfaces more easily. Liquid silicone rubber, however, is designed to become a stable solid material after curing.
During production, the liquid silicone goes through a complete chemical curing process. Through this reaction, the silicone molecules become fully crosslinked into a stable three-dimensional network structure.
Once curing is complete, the molecules are no longer free to move around like silicone oil. This means the material behaves as a durable elastomer rather than a flowing substance.
As a result, properly manufactured liquid silicone rubber:
- does not feel oily,
- does not easily release silicone,
- and remains stable during long-term daily use.
This stable structure is one of the main reasons why liquid silicone rubber is widely used in:
- food-contact products,
- baby products,
- medical devices,
- kitchen utensils,
- and industrial protective equipment.
Why LANON Liquid Silicone Gloves Do Not Release Silicone
LANON liquid silicone gloves use high-quality liquid silicone rubber that undergoes a thorough platinum-curing process.
Platinum curing is considered one of the highest-quality curing methods for liquid silicone rubber because it helps create a more complete and stable crosslinked structure.
Compared with lower-cost curing systems, platinum-cured silicone offers:
- better material purity,
- lower residual substances,
- improved stability,
- reduced odor,
- and stable heat-resistant performance.
More importantly, proper platinum curing helps minimize the possibility of silicone migration.
At LANON, the liquid silicone raw materials used in the gloves are carefully selected for quality and contain minimal unnecessary additives. Combined with a sufficient platinum-curing reaction, this helps ensure that the silicone structure remains stable during use.
Because the molecules are fully crosslinked and locked into place, the gloves maintain their performance without behaving like free-flowing silicone oil.
Food-Grade Certified Silicone Gloves
LANON liquid silicone gloves are designed to meet food-contact safety requirements.
This food-grade certification is important because it demonstrates that the material is suitable for environments involving direct or indirect food contact.
In practical use, this means the gloves are suitable for:
- commercial kitchens,
- food factories,
- baking applications,
- BBQ handling,
- hot cookware handling,
- and industrial food processing environments.
In addition to food safety performance, the gloves also provide excellent heat resistance up to 480°F, flexibility, non-slip grip, durability, and user comfort.
Unlike traditional bulky heat-resistant gloves, liquid silicone gloves can offer both protection and dexterity at the same time.
As silicone technology continues to advance, properly manufactured platinum-cured liquid silicone rubber will remain one of the safest and most reliable materials for high-performance protective gloves.
