The benefits of Plastic-coated Glassware for Rotary Evaporators Plastic coating on the glassware provides increased durability, making it less prone to breakage. This is particularly important in the delicate and precise process of rotary evaporation, where glassware is subjected to varying negative pressures and temperatures. The plastic coating acts as an added layer of protection, reducing the risk of damage and the need for frequent replacements.
The plastic coating on the glassware improves safety of scientists and technicians in every laboratory. In the event of glass breakage, the coating helps to contain the shattered pieces, minimizing the chances of glass fragments scattering and potentially causing harm to the operator or contaminating the experiment.
This added safety aspect is crucial in laboratory environments where personnel work with hazardous substances or volatile compounds.
Moreover, the coating holds the broken glasses together therefore the leakage will be minimum. In most cases, this coating manages to keep the solutions inside the flask body avoiding leakages, a very important aspect when handling dangerous and/or valuable solutions. For this reason, coated glassware is highly recommended. Additionally, the plastic coating improves the grip on the glassware, reducing the likelihood of accidental slips or drops.
This is especially beneficial when handling wet or greasy substances, providing a more secure hold, and enhancing the overall stability during the rotary evaporation process. The coating is highly transparent and can resist up to 90°C. These bottles can be repeatedly autoclaved at 120°C in case of necessity. Coated glassware should not be exposed directly to open flame.
By incorporating plastic-coated glassware into the operation of rotary evaporators, laboratories can enjoy enhanced durability, improved safety, and increased confidence in handling delicate and potentially hazardous materials. The plasticcoating is available for condensers as well as evaporating and receiving flasks.
