Antibacterial Grade Silicone FAQs

How can you tell if silicone is medical grade?

We prioritise meeting these criteria for our silicone products, including our Stericone antibacterial grade silicone rubber. Our silicone rubber has obtained regulatory approvals and complies with medical standards, making it suitable for various medical applications.

Medical-grade silicone should meet specific regulatory standards to ensure its safety and effectiveness. With us, our silicone rubber is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) or the UK and German Water Councils.

Working with a reputable silicone supplier, such as United Silicones, is crucial in ensuring you are getting medical-grade silicone. We have extensive experience in the medical industry understand the requirements and can provide the necessary documentation and support.

Does bacteria grow on silicone?

Due to its porous nature, bacteria do not generally form on silicone. However, if the surfaces are not properly treated or if the silicone does not have antibacterial properties bacteria can stick to the silicone. However, Stericone antibacterial-grade silicone rubber is specifically designed to inhibit bacterial growth, making it an excellent choice for applications where good hygiene is imperative.

How does antibacterial silicone work?

The Stericone silicone rubber is specially formulated to fight bacteria. It helps prevent the spread of harmful germs by stopping them from growing on the surface. This keeps the silicone material hygienic.

In addition to inhibiting bacterial growth, Stericone antibacterial-grade silicone rubber also has a non-stick surface, making it resistant to the adherence of bacteria. This further enhances its hygiene properties and makes it easier to clean and maintain.

How long does silicone take to sterilise?

Depending on your application or industry, silicone can be sterilised in a few different ways.

Steam Autoclave: Usually used in the medical industry to sterlise equipment, typically using an autoclave at 121°C for 15-20 minutes is an effective way to sterilise antibacterial grade silicone.

Boiling: Submerge the silicone in boiling water for about 5-10 minutes.
