Why Material Selection Is Decisive
Mouthpieces of breathing trainers remain in direct contact with mucous membranes throughout the entire exercise. Low-grade elastomers tend to release chemical compounds when exposed to saliva and warmth, resulting in a noticeable bitter aftertaste.
Manufacturing with Platinum Catalysts
Unlike conventional peroxide curing, platinum curing leaves no acidic by-products whatsoever:
- Odor Neutrality: The material remains entirely odorless and does not absorb ambient odors even after months of use.
- Temperature Resistance: The material easily withstands boiling water for routine disinfection.
Impact on Durability
Platinum silicone does not become brittle from UV exposure or contact with saliva. This ensures that the sealing lips remain flexible against the plastic body even after intensive use.
