Does platinum silica gel really contain platinum?

I first heard the word platinum silicone and wondered if there was any metal in it (of course it couldn't be platinum). But after a preliminary understanding to come out a rumor: in theory, there is no platinum silicone!

Silica gel now comes in many different forms and synthesis methods. The Platinum in Platinum silicone is a catalyst used to speed up the synthesis of silicone. In terms of chemical properties, platinum silica gel is more stable and will not decompose during heating like inferior silica gel. But it is not ruled out that in the process of processing, there will be some platinum mixed with silica gel. But it doesn't matter, platinum, gold precious metals such as strong "inertia", is it does not make any response, and the human body, but also only trace amount of platinum silicone containing metal, even if enters the body will be out of the body as metabolism (heard in Japan and Taiwan also does someone add gold foil to the food to eat, to, is the kind of gold do).

Platinum silica gel is a kind of silica gel, are "silicon" and "oxygen" polymer - silicone resin (also known as silicone, silicon Likon. Silicone (also known as Silicone), though soft and elastic in texture, is more like glass in composition (glass is mostly silicon dioxide). However, it should be noted that the domestic translation of "Silicone" is a confused definition: many people confuse the Silicone mold with the Silicone used to do desiccant (English called Silicone rubber). "Silicone" and "Silicone rubber" can both be called "Silicone" in Chinese, but they are completely different substances with different properties and uses.

Platinum silica gel belongs to very good quality silica gel, and because there are few domestic manufacturers of domestic technical level, so platinum silica gel is generally imported, platinum silica gel products are also very popular, so in the purchase of this kind of silica gel products to be carefully identified, do not try to buy cheap and deceived into ordinary silica gel products.
