Quartz found in sand, rocks and clay is decomposed into its constituents in a smelting furnace. The silicon stone that is released during the process is the basis for the production of silicone. In an intermediate step, it is converted to silanes at 572°F and then hydrolyzed to raw silicone.

Now liquid and greasy silicone is moistened with platinum in the right quantities. As a result, at the next stage, it becomes more stable, acquires the necessary strength and at the same time remains more durable and does not decay. For coloring, special (vegan) pigment-containing color pastes are used.

The platinum-wetted silicone is pressed in a high temperature compression molding press and hardened (vulcanized) into the appropriate product shape and with the desired silicone properties. Optionally, smaller products are given their final shape using injection molding technology.

Finally, each of our baking pans is baked in a blast furnace for 4-6 hours at ~428°F. After that, they are free of volatile organic components and are ready for immediate use. Unfortunately, many manufacturers often overlook this time-consuming production step for cost reasons.
