Was curious what happened if you inhaled it. Nothing specific on their site, but it does say:
The coating has been found to be safe for use in nonfood contact areas
of food processing plants. The coating meets FDA and USDA regulations for those
types of applications.
Still curious.
- akurilin 14y agoI remember seeing old videos of this tech used inside a ketchup bottle. I wonder if we're going to see food-safe versions soon on products like toothpaste and peanut butter :)
- theon144 14y agoI remember reading it's already food-safe, as in if you scraped it with a knife and munched on it, it'd still pass through you without any effects, but sorry, I don't have a source for that.
- ricardobeat 14y agoThat was MIT's "LiquiGlide"[1]. Theirs was created from food-safe materials. [1] http://www.fastcoexist.com/1679878/mits-freaky-non-stick-coating-keeps-ketchup-flowing http://www.fastcoexist.com/1679878/mits-freaky-non-stick-coa...
- cowsandmilk 14y agoI am surprised no one has linked to the youtube video provided by the manufacturer about application of the product[1]. They recommend the use of a respirator during application; this doesn't necessarily mean anything, you won't get sued for telling someone to use a respirator when a product is safe, but it at least indicates they aren't comfortable yet to tell people to apply this without protective equipment. Like many things that require a respirator to apply, it likely becomes much safer once dry (the carrier solvent evaporates away, making the actual coating nonvolatile) [1] http://youtu.be/Ord6dTARWfo http://youtu.be/Ord6dTARWfo
