Description
Crucible tongs with grooves and PTFE coating, length 250 mm, are specialised laboratory tools for the safe handling of hot crucibles, dishes and small vessels. Constructed from stainless steel and finished with a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) coating, the tongs combine mechanical strength with excellent chemical resistance and non-stick properties. Longitudinal grooves in the jaws improve grip on cylindrical or irregularly shaped items, reducing the risk of slippage during transfer. The overall length of 250 mm provides comfortable reach while keeping the operator’s hand at a safe distance from heat sources. Weighing 87,0 g (net weight 0,09 kg), the tongs remain easy to manoeuvre yet sufficiently robust for repeated use. Supplied as a single piece by manufacturer Bochem, they are well suited to analytical chemistry, materials testing, ashing procedures and high-temperature sample preparation. The PTFE coating protects both the workpiece and the tongs themselves from aggressive residues, simplifying cleaning and extending service life in demanding laboratory environments where reliable thermal and chemical handling is essential.
This article is part of Crucibles, in Dishes, crucibles & porcelain.

Questions about Crucible tong with ridges, PTFE-Coating, L=250mm
What is this article?
Crucible tong with ridges, PTFE-Coating, L=250mm is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Bochem for laboratory use. It sits in Crucibles, inside Dishes, crucibles & porcelain, in Labware.
A crucible holds a sample in a furnace or over a flame, at temperatures that would soften a borosilicate beaker. Porcelain, platinum and glazed ceramic are different articles. The form, tall or wide, decides how fast a sample dries or ashes.
A dish is an open vessel for drying, evaporating or holding a solid. Porcelain and glazed ceramic take a higher temperature than borosilicate glass, which is why a crucible, not a beaker, goes into a furnace. A watch glass covers, or holds a small amount for drying. A mortar is for grinding. The temperature and the chemical, not the shape alone, choose the material. Laboratory ware of this family is listed under ISO laboratory ware.
