Why this grade

Where these two actually differ

  • We flag Siloxane leaching (low-molecular-weight oligomers), Microparticle shedding from grip surface and Mold or bacterial growth in surface texture on the Silikomart and not on the Silikomart.
  • We flag Bacterial growth or biofilm on the Silikomart and not on the Silikomart.
  • The Silikomart is silicone rubber grip mat, non-coated where the Silikomart is Food-grade silicone, texture mat (no coating), which is most of the difference in these two grades.

Both products run through the same public rubric: materials, coatings, brand disclosure, lab findings, and recalls, plus a beyond-PFAS hazard analysis. Grades are model-based estimates, not lab tests. How grades work →
