Corning® PYREXPLUS® Glassware

Corning PYREXPLUS glassware brings you the best of both worlds – the extraordinary chemical inertness of genuine PYREX® borosilicate glass on the inside plus the additional protection of a tough plastic coating on the outside.

PYREXPLUS coating makes it easier to grip Separatory Funnels while shaking.

The thick PYREXPLUS polyvinyl chloride (PVC) coating delivers longer product life for more safety:

  • Doubles the resistance to impact fracture of coated glassware compared to uncoated
  • Helps prevent surface checks and scratches extending product life
  • Reduces the chance of breakage if PYREXPLUS
    glassware is banged or dropped AND it helps contain
    spills if breakage does occur
  • Less slippery and easier to grip than glass

These PYREXPLUS Culture Tubes can be sterilized by autoclaving.

Features

  • PYREXPLUS glassware can be successfully sterilized by autoclaving using a liquid or dry cycle which involves no vacuum or low vacuum (5 inches Hg.)
  • PYREXPLUS glassware is completely microwave safe.
  • PYREXPLUS Aspirator Bottles and Filter Flasks provide an extra layer of safety from injuries from glass fragments during implosions.

  • The recommended temperature use range for PYREXPLUS glassware is 10°C to 80°C. PYREXPLUS glassware should not be exposed to temperatures below -20°C or above 110°C.
  • PYREXPLUS filter flasks and aspirator bottles have demonstrated the ability to contain glass fragments upon implosion at room temperature. However, in keeping with safe laboratory practice, always use a safety shield around evacuated containers.
  • The PYREXPLUS coating is designed to resist leakage resulting from a brief chemical exposure that might occur if the vessel is broken. Prolonged and/or repeated chemical exposure of the coating to esters, aldehydes, ketones, chlorinated or aromatic solvents and concentrated acids should be avoided.
