Product Description
Cotton Twine is a versatile filament made from twisted strands of natural cotton fibers. It is soft yet durable, offering flexibility and strength for binding, tying, or securing items in both laboratory and industrial environments. Cotton twine is non-abrasive, lint-minimal, and chemically inert to most laboratory reagents, making it suitable for specimen tying, light bundling, or general-purpose securing within controlled settings.

Description

Primary Uses
Laboratory Applications

  • Used to tie glass apparatus such as thermometers, glass rods, or small tubing for heating or reaction setups.

  • Employed in suspension preparations (e.g., hanging seed samples) in botanical experiments.

  • Used to bundle test tubes or filter papers during drying or storage.

  • Serves as a lightweight binder for securing cotton plugs on flasks or test tubes.

  • Ideal for general tying tasks where chemical resistance and cleanliness are needed.

Industrial Applications

  • Used in packaging lightweight lab consumables for sample transport.

  • Employed in small-scale manufacturing where biodegradable binding is preferred.

  • Applied in quality control and maintenance workflows requiring temporary bundling.

  • Utilized in R&D facilities for securing components gently.

Secondary Uses
Other Industrial Uses

  • Included in craft or prototype collection kits for light-duty binding.

  • Occasionally used in packaging or design prototyping where chemical inertness matters.
