Making your chemistry even safer...

Radleys (Saffron Walden, UK) are pleased to announce the launch of a range of PTFE Safety Covers for their market leading Heat-On Blocks.

Heat-On is the safe, clean and efficient alternative to messy oil baths for heating and stirring round bottom flasks from 10ml to 5 litres. The PTFE covers are designed to reduce the risk of users touching the ‘hot’ Heat-On block and cut-down on energy consumption.

Manufactured from solid PTFE, the Safety Covers fit easily over existing Heat-On Blocks, providing an insulated barrier between the user and the ‘hot’ block, reducing the temperature of exposed surfaces by as much as 50%. The excellent thermal properties of the PTFE also mean that up to 15% less energy is required to maintain temperatures for extended periods.

The chemically resistant covers also form a barrier between the hot surface of the Heat-On Block and any accidently spilt solvent or chemicals, reducing spitting of hot liquids and chemical attack. The non-stick nature of PTFE also allows the covers to be easily wiped clean. The PTFE Safety Covers are available for the popular Multi-Well, 200ml, 300ml, 500ml and 1 litre Heat-On Blocks.
