Platinum silicone explained: how to use, care, and bake like a pro
At Point-Virgule, we believe that every detail in your kitchen matters: from the materials we choose to the products you use every day. That’s why platinum silicone is one of our favorite materials. But what makes it so special, and why should you consider it for your bakeware and kitchen essentials?
What is silicone?
Silicone is an innovative material made from silicium, a natural element found in sand and rock. Through a clever chemical process, it becomes durable, flexible, and heat-resistant, making it perfect for products that need to withstand daily use. Unlike plastic, silicone is not petroleum-based, meaning it’s free from BPA and phthalates, making it safe for your food and better for the planet.
Why platinum silicone is superior
At Point-Virgule, we use 100% platinum silicone, the highest quality available. Compared to regular silicone, platinum silicone offers:

Non-toxic and hypoallergenic: Safe for your family and your kitchen.
-
PFAS-free: Free from harmful per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances.
-
Excellent non-stick properties: Perfect for baking without sticking or mess.
-
Odorless and easy to clean: Keeps your kitchen fresh and hassle-free.
-
Heat-resistant and durable: Withstands extreme temperatures (-40°C to +230°C) without losing shape or elasticity.
The benefits for your kitchen
Platinum silicone isn’t just safe and durable, it also makes your life easier:
