How To Make Silicone Plates? A Complete Guide

Wprowadzenie

Silicone plates have become one of the most practical innovations in modern dining and childcare. Unlike fragile glass or chemical-leaching plastics, silicone plates are flexible, safe, and eco-friendly. Parents especially love them as part of silikonowe zestawy do karmienia niemowląt, often combined with silicone suction bowls, silicone bibs, and complete weaning kits.

But have you ever wondered how silicone plates are actually made? Let’s walk through the process step by step.

Why Silicone Plates Are So Popular

Silicone has unique advantages over traditional materials:

• Bezpieczeństwo przede wszystkim: 100% food-grade, free from BPA, phthalates, PVC, and harmful toxins.

• Heat & Cold Resistant: Suitable for microwaves, dishwashers, freezers, and even boiling water.

• Durability: Does not crack, shatter, or break like plastic or glass.

• Przyjazny dla środowiska: Reusable for years, reducing single-use waste.

• Baby-Friendly: Soft texture protects delicate gums, making it ideal for silicone suction baby feeding sets.

  

How Silicone Plates Are Made

1. Material Preparation

The process begins with carefully selecting food-grade or medical-grade silicone, which complies with global certifications such as FDA, LFGB, and SGS. Pigments are added for color customization, ensuring plates are both safe and visually appealing.

2. Molding Techniques

Silicone can be shaped using different molding processes:

• Compression Molding – Pre-measured silicone blocks are pressed into heated molds, creating simple yet durable shapes.

• Liquid Silicone Rubber (LSR) Injection Molding – Liquid silicone is injected into steel molds under high pressure, ideal for precision products like divided plates or silicone suction bowls.

• Multi-color & 3D Molding – Enables creative designs, patterns, and playful shapes, popular for children’s tableware.

3. Curing & Demolding

The molded silicone is heated and cured, which strengthens its flexibility and durability. Once set, the product is carefully demolded to maintain its final shape.

4. Post-Processing

Products are then polished, edges trimmed, and branding can be applied through laser engraving or screen printing. This step also ensures smooth surfaces that are safe for babies to handle and chew on.

5. Secondary Vulcanization

To eliminate any remaining odor and ensure complete safety, plates undergo a high-temperature baking process. This step is critical for baby products, guaranteeing compliance with global safety standards.

6. Quality Inspection

Each plate is tested for elasticity, stain resistance, and suction power (for silicone suction feeding sets). Only products that pass strict quality checks are approved for packaging.

Customization and Design Options

Modern consumers expect more than function—they want style and individuality. That’s why many manufacturers offer:

• Divided plate sections for baby-led weaning

• Fun shapes like animals, cars, or sports themes (e.g., soccer or basketball plates)

• Matching silicone bibs, spoons, and suction bowls

• OEM/ODM services for brand personalization

This makes silicone weaning sets not only practical but also visually engaging for babies.

Applications of Silicone Plates

• Karmienie niemowląt: The most common use, paired with suction bowls and bibs to prevent spills.

• Travel & Outdoor: Lightweight and foldable silicone plates are perfect for picnics or camping.

• Daily Family Dining: Durable enough for adults while safe for toddlers.

How Silicone Plates Compare to Other Materials

• Tworzywo sztuczne: Cheap but prone to chemical leaching and microplastic pollution.

• Glass: Natural and hygienic but heavy and breakable, unsafe for babies.

• Stal nierdzewna: Durable but less baby-friendly due to hardness and weight.

• Silikon: The perfect balance—safe, flexible, durable, and eco-friendly.

Wnioski
