Demarle · Baking Parchment & Silicone Mats
Demarle Silpat Non-Stick Baking Mat (Half-Size)
Lower PFAS concern than Teflon-type coating Teflon, but Teflon-family coating still warrants caution.
Silpat is marketed as a Teflon-type coating-free, silicone-based mat with a proprietary Teflon-family coating non-stick coating. While Demarle does not disclose PFAS content or make explicit PFAS-free claims, the use of Teflon-family coating means some PFAS-related chemicals may be present in the coating.

What we don’t know
This grade is a model-based estimate from public materials, coatings, and brand disclosure at 62% confidence. It is not a lab result.
No independent PFAS lab test is on record for this exact product. A lab test could move the score in either direction.
The brand has not made a specific, verifiable PFAS-free statement, so part of this score reflects that missing disclosure rather than a confirmed material.
Formulations and coatings change between production runs. Always check the current label before buying.
