A variety of different materials like PTFE, FEP, PFA, PEEK and others enable innovative products to be produced with excellent chemical resistance and high thermal resistance. Screw joints and ground joint components, tubing and connectors allow an infinite number of combinations to create sophisticated systems of fluid transfer using standard laboratory bottles and containers. For distillation of strong acids or alkaline products BOLA manufactures reaction vessels up to 6 litre capacity in PTFE or PFA. All parts exposed to the medium are either made completely of PTFE/PFA or jacketed like the thermometers. The BOLA catalogue also includes a wealth of technical information on the materials used including physical properties and chemical resistance and the safe use and care of fluoroplastic labware. Further advice on the pressure resistance of tubing and the correct choice for pressure or vacuum applications make the catalogue a useful reference. www.labtex.co.uk Issue 22 PECM 93
