Frozen ice tray is an essential household item in our daily lives, and it has been widely used in other countries, especially in hot summers. It can be found in daily household use, restaurants, bars, and other places. There are many types of ice tray materials, and the most common ones are plastic, thermoplastic soft rubber, silicone, and other materials. So what is the temperature resistance of ice grids made of different materials?

Plastic ice cubes have limited temperature resistance, high thermal expansion coefficient, and are prone to brittleness and combustion when frozen for a long time. They can be used at temperatures around -40 to 160 degrees Celsius, but have high hardness and can effectively hold liquids for ice making.

The silicone ice box has good softness and toughness, with a temperature resistance range of -40-260 degrees. The difference in low temperature is not significant, but it has outstanding high temperature performance, good softness, easy removal of frozen items, good stability, and will not deform or become brittle at low temperatures. It is also resistant to stretching, rebound, falling, and breakage. However, the drawback is that it is difficult to hold liquids due to its softness.

The above two materials each have their own advantages and disadvantages. In terms of safety performance, silicone is more stable. Silicone does not react or conflict with any substance, and it can produce no chemical reaction conflicts at any stage. Even if the high and low temperature silicon molecules are damaged, the gas and delay produced by its destruction will not cause harm, so it allows consumers to choose.

In terms of appearance, silicone can be used in a wider range of colors and patterns, because plastic material belongs to hard rubber. If too many patterns are made, it is not easy to demold, while silicone belongs to soft rubber. When making patterns, they can easily fall off, which is why it allows consumers to choose. Secondly, the cost of mold making silicone ice grids is lower. However, the unit price and cost of the product are higher, and there are also some differences in performance and advantages.

Ice cubes are usually prepared by households in hot areas, but the specific choice of ice cube depends on the consumer‘s preference.
