PTFE Xylan coating provides a non-stick surface to which only very few solid or liquid substances permanently adhere, is non-protein binding, and does not support biological growth
Nickel-Electro, a manufacturer of laboratory instrumentation, is introducing a new range of PTFE Xylan coated spatulas and tongs.
The coating offers users a wide range of important benefits.
It provides a non-stick surface to which only very few solid or liquid substances permanently adhere.
As it is non-protein binding and does not support biological growth, it is ideal for laboratory applications.
In addition to its non-stick qualities, the coating offers a unique combination of chemical inertness, purity, low permeability, heat resistance and toughness.
PTFE Xylan has excellent non-wetting properties making the spatulas and tongs very easy to clean and suitable for steam or chemical sterilisation.
The coating has excellent heat resistance and cryogenic stability with a temperature range from -195C to as high as 260C.
This makes the new spatulas and tongs ideally suited to lifting and handling hot, cold or chemically active materials.
Meanwhile, the chemical resistant of the PTFE Xylan coating makes it impervious to chemical environments.
It provides good resistance to both acid and alkali solutions.
Melvin Dickson, managing director of Nickel-Electro says: "These new PTFE spatulas and tongs combined with our existing range of laboratory metalware available in a variety of materials including aluminium, stainless steel, nickel and zirconium provides our customers with a single source of many types of laboratory consumables".
All products in the Clifton range come with a three year warranty.
