1460-CAP SOLID, GL WITH PTFE LINER

A “CAP SOLID, GL WITH PTFE LINER” refers to a solid cap designed for use with laboratory glassware that has a GL (Glass Lab) standard thread. The addition of “WITH PTFE LINER” indicates that the inside of the cap is lined with polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), a non-reactive and chemically resistant material. Here are some potential uses for such caps:

1. Chemical Resistance: PTFE is known for its excellent chemical resistance. A cap with a PTFE liner can help prevent chemical reactions between the contents of the glassware and the cap.
2. Sealing: Solid caps are used to seal containers to prevent the escape of gases or vapors and to protect the contents from external contaminants.
3. Storage: Solid caps with PTFE liners are commonly used for long-term storage of samples in laboratory settings where chemical compatibility and inertness are crucial.
4. Leak Prevention: The PTFE liner can help create a tight seal, minimizing the risk of leaks or evaporation.
