It is insoluble in water and any solvents, non-toxic, tasteless, chemically stable, and does not react with any substances except strong alkalis and hydrofluoric acid. Various types of silica gel form different microporous structures due to their different manufacturing methods. The chemical composition and physical structure of silica gel determine that it has many other similar materials that are difficult to replace: high adsorption performance, good thermal stability, stable chemical properties, and high mechanical strength.
Will the silicone spatula be toxic when heated?
How can silica gel be poisonous? The stability of silica gel is particularly good, especially high and low temperature resistance, it can be heated in a microwave oven at high temperature without deforming or releasing toxic substances, and it can also be stored in a refrigerator!
