Keywords: GB 4806.16-2025, food grade silicone, fumed silica, cost increase, industry reshuffle
Key Sentence: The upcoming enforcement of GB 4806.16-2025 raises food-grade silicone production standards and accelerates global industry upgrading.
The new China national standard GB 4806.16-2025 will be officially implemented soon, bringing strict restrictions on heavy metal residues, volatile substances, and migration performance for food contact silicone products. Manufacturers are forced to replace traditional raw materials with high-purity fumed silica, pushing the overall production cost of food grade silicone up by nearly 30%. Small and medium silicone factories face elimination due to high testing and raw material costs, while leading silicone enterprises optimize production processes and quality control systems to occupy the high-end food silicone market, further improving industry concentration.
