Educational Benefits & Key Features
Feature: Non-corrosive Polypropylene Base.Benefit: Eliminates the risk of rust and oxidation when exposed to corrosive substances like Hydrochloric Acid or Sodium Hydroxide, extending the lifecycle of lab hardware.
Feature: Weighted Core Construction.Benefit: Solves the problem of instability in lightweight plastic equipment, providing the necessary counterweight to support offset borosilicate glassware without tipping.
Feature: Impact-Resistant Polymer Architecture.Benefit: Reduces institutional replacement costs by withstanding the mechanical stresses and accidental drops common in high-occupancy student laboratories.
Feature: Non-Reactive and Insulative Surface.Benefit: Enhances student safety during experiments involving liquid electrolytes or basic electrical circuits by preventing unwanted conductivity or chemical reactions with the stand.
Feature: Smooth, Rounded Base Contours.Benefit: Facilitates rapid decontamination and cleaning of chemical residues, preventing cross-contamination between different laboratory sessions.
