An elegant and functional addition to your dining table, the modern-twist silicone placemat provides nonporous, germ-free protection while also enhancing its beauty with a subtle and unique visual design that won't interfere with dishes or other tabletop items. The placemat's artwork has been designed by an independent artist and silk-screened on to the silicone by hand. In addition to adding style to your dining room, this placemat is heat resistant up to 425 degrees F, enabling you to place warm dishes on it to protect your table's surface (though it should not be used as a trivet). It also prevents crumbs and liquid from seeping through. Like all modern-twist products, the placemat is made from 100-percent pure, 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. After use, simply wipe down with soap and water for easy cleaning and stain prevention. It's also dishwasher-safe and won't crease or rip. This silicone placemat measures 16 inches by 14 inches (LxW). modern-twist has pioneered the use of pure food-grade, hand-silk screened silicone for placemats, table runners, coasters, baby products, and more with aesthetically inspiring designs that will enliven your home.
