What Pyrex Accessories Spatula collectibles is made of, ingredients and materials
Pyrex spatulas typically combine borosilicate glass heads with silicone or heat-resistant plastic handles. Borosilicate glass is thermally stable and does not leach chemicals into food or liquids across normal cooking temperatures. The silicone handle (if present) is food-grade and does not off-gas harmful volatiles at typical stovetop or oven use. Glass-to-handle bonds in vintage Pyrex are mechanically set and do not involve adhesives known to degrade into hazardous compounds.
What’s concerning
Category baseline
The starting point for this type of product, before anything specific to this product is counted.
No PFAS disclosure
No public statement from the brand about PFAS in this product.
Silicone handle degradation
Vintage silicone handles may weaken or crack over decades of use and heat exposure, potentially allowing glass to separate or silicone fragments to enter food. Inspect before each use, especially if the spatula is decades old.
Glass chipping or fracture
Borosilicate glass is durable but can chip if dropped or knocked hard against cookware edges. Inspect the glass head for hairline cracks before use to prevent glass shards in food.
What’s reassuring
Base material not linked to PFAS
The main material recorded for this product is not one associated with PFAS.
Lead
Pyrex borosilicate glass does not contain lead or cadmium in its formulation. No recalls or safety alerts have targeted Pyrex glass spatulas for heavy metal leaching.
Source, ATSDR ↗Teflon-type coating fume risk
Glass spatulas do not contain Teflon-type coating (non-stick coating). This hazard is not relevant to this product.
BPA & bisphenols
Silicone handles in Pyrex spatulas do not typically contain phthalates or BPA. No documented incidents or regulatory warnings exist for this product line.

The brand's record and disclosure
Pyrex (now owned by Instant Brands) does not publicly disclose PFAS use in cookware accessories, but the company has faced no major recalls or safety controversies specific to glass spatulas or similar utensils. Pyrex maintains general food-safety certifications for its cookware lines. The brand has not positioned itself as PFAS-free, but its core product material (borosilicate glass) is inherently not a PFAS carrier.
How it compares in its category
Glass spatulas have lower concern in the cookware utensil category because glass is chemically inert and does not leach under heat. Silicone-handled variants are preferable to wood or plastic handles for durability and heat tolerance. Vintage Pyrex items are often more durable than modern mass-market alternatives and carry no known material downgrades over time.
If you buy it
Use the spatula with confidence on stovetops and in ovens up to the stated heat rating of the handle (typically 400-500F for silicone). Avoid prolonged exposure to open flame or direct high heat on the handle seam. Wash by hand rather than in dishwashers to preserve the handle bond. If the silicone handle shows cracking or separation from the glass, replace the spatula to avoid glass fragments entering food.
