Where these two actually differ
- We flag Silicone additive/filler contamination (unspecified), Thermal degradation at extreme temperatures, Microplastic shedding if mat degrades and Coating degradation or peeling on the Weber and not on the Weber.
- We flag Polyethylene thermal degradation and VOC release and Microplastic shedding from mat degradation on the Weber and not on the Weber.
- The Weber is silicone (no nonstick fluoropolymer coating disclosed) where the Weber is Polyethylene (PE) or similar polymer protective mat, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
- The gap is 45 points, wide enough that this is not a close call, and the Weber is the one to buy.
Both products run through the same public rubric, which covers 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 →
