Glas-Col 100D P1600 Poncho Safety Shields for Heating Mantles, 50000 Size

The Poncho Safety Shield covers a flask in a Series TM or STM mantle, greatly improving operating safety. Flammable liquids should be processed in Series STM mantles only if a Poncho Safety Shield is used and, in sizes 12-liter and larger, the mantle and Poncho can be purged with an inert gas such as argon. (Nitrogen is not recommended because of possible damage to mantle heating elements.) In addition to reducing fire hazards, the Poncho Shield also protects flasks from falling objects such as screwdrivers or pliers, protects personnel from flying glass and liquid if flask implodes under high vacuum distillation or explodes, and serves as an efficient insulator.

• The Poncho Safety Shield covers a flask in a Series TM or STM mantle
• The Poncho has two glass observation ports
• In addition to reducing fire hazards
• Ponchos shown in chart are for single-neck
• Ponchos for multiple-neck flasks may require final fitting in lab
