Is this silicone pad reef safe?

[shoelaceike]

I got this at BRS so I assume it's ok but I can't find much about it anywhere else.....have any of you used it or know anything about it?

Only way to tell is to find a msds on whats in it but if it is sold by BRS then I am sure it is safe to use. Only issue I see it getting detritus trapped underneath it. But even that is not much of a concern IMO

I would guess it is

I have been using these from amazon in a couple tanks without issue

Yes it is reef safe

I believe these are sold at bed bath and beyond too (Gxo products are sold there in the kitchen stuff area)

Thanks everyone... I looked for the SDS but couldn't find anything....I was concerned that being a kitchen item, it may have some kind of mold inhibitor

I do not know if it has mold inhibitors, but I'd guess not based on the high temp stability claim. Most organics will degrade at 425 degrees F.

I have been using them without issue.

I've been using silicone hot pads to stop skimmer pumps and other pumps in my sumps from vibrating and making noise, for close to 10 years.

I just got off the phone with "oxo manufacture" The silicon sink mat is 100% silicon as is Safe to use in the Aquarium. No coatings of any kind. We have a go from the manufacture.
