Mosaico Specialty Papers produces Baking Sil, the silicone paper for food, in Line 1 of the Sora plant. The uniqueness of the paper mill allows for the flawless application of the silicone barrier, which contributes to making this product so remarkable.
The external silicone layer, which facilitates the easy release of food, is the result of precise and delicate chemistry. Moreover, to obtain the desired porosity level, Mosaico specifically selected short birch fibre for the production of Baking Sil.
As part of the continuous machine production process, the refining step required particular innovations and attention, including the purchase of a new bench-top porosimeter. Even the lab tests to qualify and assess the product have been updated and optimised. Specific equipment allows the measurement of the quantity of silicone in g/m², while the bakery test (also called the stick test) assesses the detachment of a standard dough from the baking paper. This last test is carried out in the most "realistic" way, that is... baking actual cakes!
Baking Sil: strength and excellent release properties in industrial and domestic baking
Produced in reel and sheet formats, Baking Sil is available in the unbleached version and is safe for food contact, 100% recyclable and, upon request, FSC® and PEFC certified.
