Serendipity is made from Liniar Low Density PolyEthylene (LLDPE). Our proprietary formulation is FDA approved for direct food contact. More importantly our material is completely free from any additives. We call it Barefoot PE because it is polyethylene in its more pure and inert form.

You know what, I don't know! I thought it was rubber and I saved the packaging. When I looked at it, it does not state what the material is - it only says "Soft-bite coating is FDA and CPSIA compliant. (Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act), and free of Phthalates, Adipates, Lead, and BPA." It also says if you have questions to contact: Sherrill Manufacturing, Inc., Consumer Relations, 102 E. Seneca Street, Sherrill, New York 13461. Sorry, no phone number listed on the package.

I don't remember exactly what the materials for the cover are. When, I was researching this cover, I googled the British company and on their site, they listed what the cover consists of. I have been very happy with this cover.

I would say that it is nylon. it is by far the thickest cover we have ever purchased. Definitely worth the money! We've had it for 6 months and it has held up very well to the winds of Kansas and shows no wear at all!

I'm not sure of the type of material, it is almost as soft as silk with teary cloth top. The covers are larger than the mattress and box spring, which made it much easier to use. What sold me was it is certified against anything biting through the material and it can be machine wasted and heat dried. The others I purchased from Walmart is plastic and can not be put in drier on high heat, plus they were not certified bite-through resistant. My children are highly allergic to dust mites as well as other biting bugs. No more skin irritations since I put the protectors on the box spring and the mattress. I am so very please with the product and would highly recommend for anyone with allergy issues.

It is made of part silicone and part plastic material - offering a dual layer protection. The interior material is silicone and the exterior is plastic. It has a soft rubber coating on the outside. Thanks! - CrazyOnDigital

I don't have a direct answer. I am not sure if it is food-grade, but it does seem quite thick - like a thick plastic drop-cloth - and much thicker than even a contractor's grade garbage bag. It's not too "crinkly" when the baby moves around on it. I put two large receiving blankets under the sheet and use a poplin sheet, and we barely notice that it is there. Hope this helps.

Great question. I just posted basically the same question you asked, since I see no one has answered you. Hopefully someone will be able to tell us what material is used to make this microwave cover.

There was no spec sheet, nor any information on gauge, rating, etc. The best I can tell, the company (R.L. Plastic & Son, Inc.) is an importer/exporter rather than a manufacturer. I have been pleased, however, with the plastic cover I'm using on my dining table. It is sufficiently thick to lay flat and drape nicely at the corners, and so far it has been resistant to my cats running across the table (the main reason I bought it to protect my table and linens from the cats)!! I would recommend for indoor use.

It is made of cordura nylon, or at least it resembles the density of cordura nylon. Good quality and tough. I've been using it for a lunch box for the last 6 months and it has held up real well. The solid plastic liner is a real plus.. Highly recommend this item.

It's a hard plastic material. This product works great though! I have been using it for a year to microwave bacon and its just awesome! Only thing I suggest after you cook the bacon put it on a plate with paper towels and dap the excess grease off the bacon.

Hello Clark, Did not notice any smell not sure what material is made of. Will say it is a very warm cover.

I honestly didn't check when I ordered it. I would guess it is a type of polyethylene foam. It has held up very well so far along with the cover. I have been very satisfied with it.

#2 HDPE is what MOST 5-gallon buckets are made from but that does not automatically make them "food grade". They should be marked with a glass/fork logo or have text indicating they are "food safe" (or similar wording). http://www.virtualweberbullet.com/plastics.html#foodgrade

I do not remember what it was made of, however it held our 4 layer wedding cake that feed 140 people plus kept the top layer. Held up great! :)
