Where these two actually differ
- We flag Silicone degradation and leaching under extreme heat, Bacterial growth in worn or damaged surfaces, Nonslip base material composition unknown and Odor retention and volatile organic compound (VOC) off-gassing when new on the and not on the Fiskars.
- We flag Microplastic shedding from cutting action, Bacterial biofilm accumulation in deep cuts, Staining and odor retention and Heat-induced warping or leaching on the Fiskars and not on the .
- The is Rubber or synthetic polymer cutting mats where the Fiskars is Polypropylene or similar plastic; no nonstick or waterproof coating disclosed, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
- We are less certain about the grade, at 35% confidence against 72%, because it discloses less.
