PTFE Teflon Erlenmeyer Flask for Lab

The PTFE Erlenmeyer Flask, also commonly known as the Teflon Erlenmeyer Flask, is a high-performance reaction vessel designed specifically for harsh laboratory environments. It is made of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) material, which has unparalleled chemical inertness and can withstand corrosion from strong acids, strong bases, aqua regia, and even hydrofluoric acid. Due to its extremely low metal ion precipitation characteristics, it is widely used in key fields such as trace analysis, microwave digestion, high-temperature reactions, and high-purity sample storage, and is an indispensable tool in high-end laboratories.

Excellent Chemical & Physical Properties:
Extremely strong chemical inertness (the core advantage)
PTFE is known as the “plastic king” and hardly reacts with any known strong acids, bases, oxidants, organic solvents, etc.
Tolerant reagents include aqua regia, hydrofluoric acid (HF), hot concentrated sulfuric acid, nitric acid, hydrochloric acid, chromic acid, various organic solvents (such as acetone, benzene, alcohols), etc.
This feature ensures that the stored samples are not contaminated by the container and also guarantees that the container itself is not corroded.
Extremely low leaching and adsorption of metal ions
The surface of PTFE is smooth and dense, and it hardly adsorbs trace elements and components in the sample.
The content of self dissolved metal ions is extremely low, which is crucial for trace analysis (such as ICP-MS, ICP-OES, AA, etc.), effectively avoiding background contamination and ensuring the accuracy of analysis results.
Excellent thermal stability
It can usually be used for a long time within the temperature range of -200 ° C to+260 ° C.
Short term tolerance to higher temperatures (such as 300 ° C) makes it suitable for hydrothermal reactions, high-temperature digestion, or high-temperature sample storage.
Excellent non stickiness and surface smoothness
The surface friction coefficient is extremely low, does not adhere to any substances, is easy to clean and pour out viscous reagents, and there will be no residue.
High purity and good electrical insulation
