Ionox Grips for Pencils Made from FDA Food-Grade Silicone

June 02, 2016 – – Ionox has recently announced that their Ionox grips for pencils are made from silicone. This means that the product is safer and considered non-allergenic in comparison to pencil grips from competitors, who may manufacture their grips from rubber or latex. The silicone material is considered FDA food-grade safe, so they’re less harmful for children who may chew on the grips.

Ionox says that they make their pencil grips from silicone in order to make them as universally accessible as possible. Their grips are designed not only to appeal to children and students, but to be useful to adults and people with fine motor disabilities.

“We wanted to make something that would reach and help as wide of an audience as possible. That’s why the grips are ergonomically designed for righties and lefties, so that people of all handedness can use them. That’s why they are made from six different colors, so everyone can choose their favorite hue. And that’s why they are made from silicone–to make them as comfortable and non-allergenic as possible,” said an Ionox spokesperson.

This material means that the grips are safer in the classroom than traditional rubber and latex materials, which are known to be the source of allergies for a number of students. Schools who have had to ban the use of rubber bands or latex gloves because of allergies won’t need to be concerned about bringing Ionox pencil grips into the building, as the silicone material reduces this risk of an allergic reaction.

“These are SOLID silicone, and the colors are exactly as solid and bright as pictured. There are no flaws in them whatsoever, they were packaged beautifully, and they are insanely durable. The best part is that, as someone who has used silicone products before (baby bibs and other baby items for my son), I know that if these get a little dirty or smudged with graphite, all I’ll have to do is pop them in the dishwasher,” said one reviewer on the silicone construction of the grips.

The pencil grips are available on Amazon for purchase in both a 6-pack and a 12-pack. Visit http://www.amazon.com/pencil-grips-for-handwriting/dp/b01415jirk/
