The Modern-twist silicone placemat is intended to enhance the beauty of the dining table while providing subtle visual interest that doesn"t interfere with dishes or other tabletop items. Like all Modern-twist products, the placemat is made from FDA-approved food-grade silicone, an anti-microbial, nonporous material produced from natural elements that is free of BPA, PVC, lead, latex, phthalates, and other harsh chemicals. This is an eco-chic placemat that"s safe for people and the planet. The placemat is heat resistant up to 425 degrees but should not be used as a trivet. After use, a simple wipe down is the only requirement to prevent staining. It"s even dishwasher-safe. These placemats were put through a wash stress test of one thousand washes and still came out looking beautiful. They don"t crease or rip. They"re pleasing to the touch and beautiful to the eye, offered in a variety of designer colors and patterns including this Rex Ray Tangle motif. The artwork on the placemat has been designed by an independent artist and silk-screened on to the silicone by hand, furthering the Modern-twist mission to provide home products with aesthetically inspiring designs that are made from pioneering materials. The Modern-twist silicone placemat measures 16 inches by 14 inches.
