Food-Grade Silicone
Engineered for Safety
From raw material selection to batch traceability and third-party testing, we support global brands in building compliant, safe, and consistent silicone food contact products.
Selectable Silicone Grades
Matched to Application
Different food contact scenarios demand different silicone grades. We help clients select the right raw material based on contact temperature, duration, flexibility, and target certifications.
Solid Silicone (HCR)
High consistency rubber for compression molded parts.
- -- Spatulas, bakeware, trivets
- -- Shore A 30-70 range
- -- Cost-effective for simple geometries
Liquid Silicone (LSR)
Injection molded for high-precision, thin-wall parts.
- -- Baby products, nipples, valves
- -- Shore A 10-80 range
- -- Platinum-cured, low extractables
Platinum-Cured
Premium medical/food-grade with minimal byproducts.
- -- Direct food & infant contact
- -- Odorless, taste-free
- -- Meets USP Class VI
Peroxide-Cured
Standard-cure HCR for general kitchenware.
- -- Molds, mats, utensils
- -- Requires post-cure for odor removal
- -- Economical option
High-Temp Grade
Stable from -40°C to +230°C for oven & freezer use.
- -- Baking molds, oven mitts
- -- Dishwasher-safe
- -- Low compression set
Tear-Resistant
Reinforced formulations with +45% toughness.
- -- Folding cups, collapsible items
- -- High elongation at break
- -- Long service life
Supplier Files &
Batch Traceability
Every production run is backed by verifiable supplier documentation. We maintain full chain-of-custody records so clients can audit, defend, and renew compliance claims with confidence.
Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS)
Full composition, hazard identification, and safe handling data from certified raw material suppliers.
Certificate of Analysis (CoA)
Per-batch certification confirming raw material meets specified physical and chemical properties.
Declaration of Compliance (DoC)
Written attestation confirming the material complies with target regulations (FDA, LFGB, EU, etc.).
Batch Tracking & Lot Codes
Each production lot is coded and recorded for full traceability from raw silicone to finished goods.
Testing Programs
Aligned to Your Market
Different regions have different food contact requirements. We coordinate testing scopes based on where your product will be sold.
FDA Testing

- • Extractables in water
- • n-Hexane extractables
- • California Prop 65
LFGB & EU 10/2011
- • LFGB §30 & §31
- • Overall migration
- • Specific migration (SML)
- • Sensory evaluation
UK FCM Regulation
- • Retained EU 1935/2004
- • Materials & Articles Regs
- • Migration simulant tests
- • Heavy metals screening
Additional Standards
- • AP (2004) 5 Council of Europe
- • GB 4806 (China)
- • Food Sanitation Act (JP)
- • AS/NZS (AU/NZ)
Coordinated Testing Workflow
Please specify your target market(s) and intended end-use (contact time, temperature, food type) at the quotation stage. We will align raw material selection and testing scope accordingly, and prepare samples compliant with lab sampling protocols.
Color, Hardness
& Odor Precision
Beyond compliance, we fine-tune the sensory and tactile properties of each product to meet brand standards and consumer expectations.
Color Matching
Pantone-based color development using food-grade pigments only. We provide color chip samples for approval before mass production.
- Pantone & RAL reference
- Heavy-metal-free pigments
- UV & color-fastness tested
Hardness Tuning
We adjust durometer within target ranges to balance flexibility, grip, and structural stability for each product type.
- Soft (10-30A) for seals, nipples
- Medium (40-60A) for utensils
- Firm (70-80A) for structural parts
Odor Management
Post-cure treatment and raw material selection ensure finished products are odor-free and taste-neutral for food contact.
- Secondary curing (200°C/4h)
- Platinum-cure for low VOC
- Sensory evaluation per batch
Sample Preparation &
Third-Party Testing
We prepare properly-conditioned samples compliant with international lab sampling requirements, and work directly with SGS, Intertek, TÜV, Bureau Veritas, and client-nominated laboratories.
Confirm Scope
Client specifies target market, standards, and lab preference. We align sample quantity and format.
Mold & Produce Samples
Produce samples under mass production conditions to ensure test results reflect final product reality.
Condition & Package
Pre-condition samples per lab protocol (e.g., post-cure, cleaning), seal with lot codes and spec sheets.
Submit to Laboratory
Direct shipment to the client's designated lab, with full documentation handover.
Report Review & Production Release
We review the test report with the client; mass production proceeds only after full approval.
Compliance Boundaries
Clearly Defined
Transparent partnership requires clear scope. Below is a straightforward breakdown of what we deliver as the manufacturer, and what remains the brand owner's responsibility.
YMS Delivers
- --Food-grade silicone raw material sourcing from certified suppliers
- --Material MSDS, CoA, DoC and batch traceability records
- --Production under ISO 9001 quality system with ±0.1mm tolerance
- --Sample preparation and shipment to third-party labs
- --Technical support for test scope and material selection
- --Consistent production matching the tested sample specification
Brand / Importer Responsibility
- --Confirming target market and regulatory scope at quotation stage
- --Selecting and funding third-party laboratory testing
- --Importer-of-record obligations in destination country
- --Product labeling, instructions, and end-user warnings
- --Retail/e-commerce platform specific compliance (e.g., Prop 65 labels)
- --Renewal of certifications per changing regulations
YMS is a B2B silicone manufacturer. We do not act as an importer-of-record and do not issue regulatory approvals. All compliance claims should be validated by qualified third-party laboratories against the final product specification.
