Beaker Plastic
Beaker Plastic is a durable laboratory container made from high-quality, chemical-resistant plastic materials such as polypropylene or polystyrene. It is designed for mixing, measuring, and holding liquids in laboratory and industrial settings. The plastic beaker offers lightweight, shatter-resistant performance, making it ideal for routine lab work, sample preparation, and general handling of non-corrosive chemicals. It features clear or translucent walls with graduated markings for approximate volume measurement.
