Description

• Efficient and cost-effective covering for test tubes, beakers, vials, petri dishes, flasks, and various other instruments and objects with irregular surfaces
• Protect the integrity of research applications with a tight moisture-barrier that holds a strong seal and doesn’t release from glassware, despite off-gassing Reduce the risk of tampered data with a covering that is odorless, colorless and semi-transparent Prevents moisture and volume loss due to material composition and tight seal Flexible and self-sealing material allows it to cling around irregular shapes and surfaces Stretches more than 200% of original length Resistant up to 48 hours against many polar substances such as saline solutions, inorganic acids and alkaline solutions Permeability Oxygen: (ASTM 1927-98) 150 cc/m² d at 23°C and 50% RH Carbon Dioxide: (Modulated IR Method) 1200 cc/m² d at 23°C and 0% RH Water Vapor: (ASTM F1249-01) Flat: 1 g/m² d at 38°C and 90% RH Creased: 1 g/m² d at 38°C and 90% RH Effects of Common Reagents Potassium Permanganate 5%: No apparent effect except permanent dark brown coloration in 18 hours 0.1%: Same as 5% except slightly less color Iodine solution (0.1N) No effect except staining brown in 18 hours Ethyl Alcohol (95%) No apparent effect except some face whitening in 24 hours No apparent effect in 24 hours: Hydrochloric Acid conc
