PARAFILM LAMINA M. CIERRA 75 M A 100 MM

Efficient and cost-effective covering for test tubes, beakers, vials, petri dishes, flasks, and various other instruments and objects with irregular surfaces.

• Protect the integrity of research applications with a tight moisture-barrier that holds a strong seal and doesn’t release from glassware, despite off-gassing
• Reduce the risk of tampered data with a covering that is odorless, colorless and semi-transparent
• Prevents moisture and volume loss due to material composition and tight seal
• Flexible and self-sealing material allows it to cling around irregular shapes and surfaces
• Stretches more than 200% of original length
• Resistant up to 48 hours against many polar substances such as saline solutions, inorganic acids and alkaline solutions
