Silikomart Silicone Grip Mat is the clear pick. Non Slip Mat For Cutting Board carries a failing PFAS grade, and we never recommend buying a failing product.

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 Teflon.
  • We flag PTFE coating degradation and particle shedding and Manufacturing PFAS residues in the coating on the Teflon and not on the Silikomart.
  • The Silikomart is silicone rubber grip mat, non-coated where the Teflon is PTFE (Teflon) non-slip coating, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
  • The gap is 60 points, wide enough that this is not a close call, and the Silikomart is the one to buy.

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 →
