Our Defiant platinum-cure silicone has passed European food-contact safety testing based on Regulation (EC) No. 1935/2004.
This update applies to Defiant 10A, 15A, and 25A, adding European test results to our existing FDA-related food-contact documentation.
Now Supported by Both EU and FDA Food Contact Testing
The European testing evaluates substance migration under specified conditions, checks for certain substances, and assesses effects on odor and taste. It references Regulation (EC) No. 1935/2004, alongside relevant European requirements and recommendations.
All 12 test categories listed in the report passed.
We now have two food-contact test reports available for review:
- Water-extraction testing in accordance with FDA 21 CFR 177.2600
- European food-contact testing referencing (EC) No. 1935/2004
For food-contact applications, follow our mixing, curing, and cleaning instructions, and make sure the finished mold is suitable for the intended food type, contact time, and temperature.

Choose the Right Defiant Silicone for Your Project
Defiant is available in three Shore A hardness levels. The best choice depends on how much flexibility, support, and shape retention your mold needs.
Defiant 10A β Soft and Flexible
 |
Choose Defiant 10A when flexibility and easy demolding are your priorities. Our softest silicone is well suited to intricate shapes and designs with undercuts, where a more flexible mold can help release the finished piece. Shop Defiant 10A |
Defiant 15A β Balanced Flexibility and Support
 |
Choose Defiant 15A for a balance of flexibility and support. Its intermediate hardness makes it a versatile option for general mold-making, offering flexibility during demolding while providing more support than 10A. Shop Defiant 15A |
Defiant 25A β Firmer Support
 |
Choose Defiant 25A when mold stability and shape retention matter most. The firmest silicone in our range provides greater support for your mold, particularly for designs that do not require extensive stretching during demolding. Shop Defiant 25A |
Quick Comparison
| Product | Feel | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Defiant 10A | Softest and most flexible | Intricate molds, undercuts, easy demolding |
| Defiant 15A | Balanced flexibility and support | General mold-making and versatile applications |
| Defiant 25A | Firmest and most supportive | Stable molds and designs needing better shape retention |
