Keywords: food grade silicone, GB 4806.16, fumed silica, HONG YE JIE silicone Summary: The upcoming GB 4806.16 standard promotes the replacement of raw materials, bringing a sharp increase in fumed silica demand. HONG YE JIE silicone has fully upgraded products to meet the new food safety regulations. Detailed Content: GB 4806.16-2025 will be officially implemented on September 2 this year. The new standard strictly limits VOC and heavy metal content of food-grade silicone, and clearly requires fumed silica to replace precipitated silica in related products. It is estimated that the annual demand for fumed silica will increase by 10,000 tons, and the overall raw material cost will rise by 30%. HONG YE JIE silicone took the lead in completing formula adjustment, production workshop renovation and full product testing. All food-grade silicone products fully comply with domestic standards, FDA and EU food contact requirements, realizing seamless connection with the new regulations.
