Cork to fit conical flask

Whatsapp Order

Product Description
Cork to Fit Conical Flask is a tapered sealing component made from natural or synthetic cork, designed to provide a snug, airtight closure for conical (Erlenmeyer) flasks. These stoppers are essential for laboratory procedures requiring the containment of samples, prevention of evaporation, or protection from airborne contaminants. Their compressibility, resistance to mild chemicals, and reusability make them ideal for both general lab work and industrial testing environments. The corks are precisely sized to fit standard flask openings, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of flask volumes.

Description

Primary Uses
Laboratory Applications

  • Used to seal conical flasks during mixing, heating, or storage of solutions.

  • Prevents spillage and contamination in microbiology, chemistry, and analytical labs.

  • Employed in fermentation setups as temporary closures.

  • Utilized in titration and sampling processes to limit exposure.

  • Aids in minimizing solvent loss during evaporation-sensitive experiments.

Industrial Applications

  • Used in R&D and quality control labs for sealing chemical samples in conical flasks.

  • Applied in industrial formulations and testing processes involving flask-contained reactions.

  • Supports batch testing and prototype synthesis procedures requiring sealed vessels.

Secondary Uses
Other Industrial Uses

  • Common in technician training kits and lab starter sets.

  • Applied in temporary sealing of reaction vessels in production-line test environments.
