im lost.
whats a plastic? silicone is not plastic?
why specifically black plastic? which black pigment? all black plastics use the same pigment?which plastic? is black silicone ok? how about rubber?
other colors with same flame retardant is ok? or somehow only black (all plastics?) use 1 particular flame retardant?
its strangely specific yet strangely vague?
- ndsipa_pomu 2y agoSilicone is a rubber, not a plastic and black silicone should be fine.
- lazylizard 2y agoso black silicones and rubber don't use the same pigment or flame retardant? or they don't leach out?
- agos 2y agoI'll add one: is nylon plastic?
- lazylizard 2y agoits clearly a plastic? polyamide?
- lazylizard 2y agook this is far more informative n coherent https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0045653524022173?via%3Dihub https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S004565352... "This study sought to determine whether black plastic household products sold on the U.S. market contained emerging and phased-out FRs and whether polymer type was predictive of contamination." and they do say its mostly abs, followed by hips , then pp; and do not say anything about other colors and other materials, plastic or not.
- lazylizard 2y agoabs is really a quite weird choice as a cooking spatula material? Its glass transition temperature is approximately 105 °C (221 °F).[4] ABS is amorphous and therefore has no true melting point. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acrylonitrile_butadiene_styrene https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acrylonitrile_butadiene_styr...
