Beakers – Polyprolylene

Description

Beakers, Polypropylene with Graduation, and Spout

Polypropylene beakers are common laboratory vessels made from polypropylene plastic. These beakers are lightweight, durable, and resistant to many chemicals, making them suitable for a wide range of laboratory applications. Polypropylene is chosen for beaker construction due to its inertness and resistance to corrosion by most acids, bases, and organic solvents.

Polypropylene beakers come in various sizes, typically ranging from a few milliliters to several liters. They often have graduations marked on the side for easy measurement of liquid volumes. While they are not as precise as volumetric glassware, they are still useful for general purpose mixing, heating, and storing of liquids in the laboratory.

These beakers usually have a pouring spout for easy transfer of liquids and may come with a handle or without, depending on the design. They are commonly used in chemistry, biology, microbiology, and other scientific disciplines where non-reactive and durable containers are needed for routine laboratory tasks.
