Kimble Chase has introduced its Kimcote plastic-coated glassware, which features an ultra-clear coating that enables it to resist breakage and contain leakage in the laboratory.
The coating provides an additional level of protection against the risk of exposure to harmful biologics, toxic materials, pressurised fluids and many common laboratory chemicals, including solvents and acids.
Kimcote also protects against injury from shattered glass.
A durable, proprietary coating provides a non-slip surface texture that improves the ability to grip Kimcote glassware whether wet or dry, further minimising the chance of handling mishaps and exposure.
Kimble Chase offers the Kimcote coating on many traditional glassware products, including bottles, cylinders, flasks, funnels, tissue grinders and tubes.
Application of the Kimcote coating to other glassware is available upon request.
All Kimcote glassware is designed to withstand steam autoclave temperatures up to 120C (250F) and freezing temperatures to -20C (-4F).
Kimcote is safe for dishwashers and microwaves, and the coated surface accommodates labelling and marking.
Kimcote is available worldwide from multiple manufacturing facilities located in the US, Europe and Asia, which are operated in compliance with ISO quality standards.
