Hello,

I am trying to source a type of rubber/silicone which is food safe.

I plan to make bungs with a hole through the middle to fit a metal tube through. This will be a pouring top for a bottle.

Is the CS2 Condensation Cure Silicone Rubber suitable for food use?
If not could you reccommend anything else? 

Thank youilicone Rubb

We don't stock any silicone rubbers that are certified as "safe for food use".

We are pretty certain that any silicone you did get would be of a similar composition, however it would be manufactured in a cleaner controlled environment to be able to claim to meet the necessary standards.
