Boiling Flask Flat Bottom
The Boiling Flask Flat Bottom is a laboratory glassware item designed for heating, boiling, and mixing chemical solutions. It features a flat base that allows it to stand independently on lab benches or heating surfaces. Made from high-quality borosilicate glass, it provides excellent thermal resistance and chemical durability. The flask’s wide mouth facilitates easy pouring, filling, and cleaning. It is commonly used in laboratories for distillation, reflux, and other heating applications requiring uniform heat distribution.
