Cork to fit boiling tube cork stopper
Product Description
Cork to Fit Boiling Tube Cork Stopper is a precision-manufactured stopper made from natural or synthetic cork, designed specifically to fit standard boiling tubes. It ensures a snug, secure closure that prevents leaks, contamination, or evaporation during laboratory procedures. These stoppers are essential in both routine and specialized lab applications where temporary sealing of test vessels is required. With good compressibility, mild chemical resistance, and reliable sealing properties, the stopper is a staple in laboratory glassware accessories.
