When it comes to why silicone materials become soft and deformed, the core reason is the characteristics of silicone materials. Silicone is a polymer elastomer with high elasticity and flexibility, but also has a certain coefficient of thermal expansion and temperature resistance range. When silicone bowls are exposed to high temperature environments, such as hot water, hot food, etc., the silicone material will expand due to heat, causing the bowl body to become soft and may also deform after long-term use.

Improper production processes may also cause the silicone bowl to become soft and deformed. During the production process of silicone bowls, factors such as insufficient vulcanization time, high or low vulcanization temperature, and improper dosage of vulcanizing agent may affect the degree of crosslinking and physical properties of silicone, leading to softening and deformation of the silicone bowl.

During use, silicone bowls may also deform if they are frequently subjected to external forces such as collisions and falls, or if they bear heavy food for a long time. Especially during the use by children, due to their relatively weak awareness of the use and protection of items, it is more likely to cause damage and deformation of silicone bowls.

The maintenance and usage methods of children‘s silicone bowls are also one of the factors that affect the softening and deformation of silicone bowls. If the silicone bowl is not properly maintained during use, such as wiping hard during cleaning or scratching with sharp objects, it may damage the surface of the silicone bowl, causing it to become soft and deformed. Meanwhile, if the silicone bowl is exposed to unfavorable environments such as humidity and high temperature for a long time, it may also accelerate its aging and deformation.
