Material Type | Kitchen, Laboratory | Industry Standard: Metal (e.g., stainless steel) Our Base: Silicone (FDA-approved, heat-resistant up to 200°C) Our Advanced: Reinforced silicone (withstands 220°C ▲) | Non-toxic, lightweight, dishwasher-safe ▲ Resists corrosion and odors | Metal versions heavier; silicone may deform at extreme temps without reinforcement |
Collapsibility | Travel, Space-Conscious Kitchens | Industry Standard: Non-collapsible Our Base: Folds to 1/4 size (ISO 14419) Our Advanced: ▲ Folds to 1/5 size + storage pouch | Easy storage, portable ▲ Reduces clutter by 75% | Requires careful folding to avoid creasing |
Heat Resistance | Canning, Hot Liquid Transfer | Industry Standard: Up to 100°C (e.g., plastic) Our Base: Safe for 200°C (ASTM E1461) Our Advanced: ▲ 220°C (ASTM E1461) | Safe for boiling water and hot oils ▲ No warping under heat | Prolonged exposure to extreme heat may reduce flexibility over time |
Chemical Resistance | Lab Experiments, Cleaning | Industry Standard: Limited (plastic degrades in acids) Our Base: Resists 50+ chemicals (ASTM D543) Our Advanced: ▲ 100+ chemicals (ASTM D543) | Safe for harsh solvents and detergents ▲ No permeation for 30+ minutes | Not compatible with strong alkalis (e.g., sodium hydroxide) |
Portability | Camping, Outdoor Cooking | Industry Standard: Heavy metal or rigid plastic Our Base: Lightweight (50g) + handle Our Advanced: ▲ 30g + integrated carabiner | Carries easily in backpacks ▲ No sharp edges | Handle may wear out faster with heavy use |
Ease of Cleaning | Busy Kitchens, High-Volume Use | Industry Standard: Prone to clogging (metal ridges) Our Base: Non-stick silicone, top-rack dishwasher-safe (IEC 60436) Our Advanced: ▲ UV-resistant coating + self-draining design | No residue buildup ▲ Cleans in 10 seconds | UV coating requires hand-washing for longevity |
