Description
NS stopper made of polyethylene (PE-HD) NS 45/40 is a laboratory stopper intended for closing standard ground joints on larger glassware. Fabricated from high-density polyethylene (HDPE), it is sized for the NS 45/40 joint commonly found on bigger reaction flasks, receivers and process vessels. The PE-HD material offers dimensional stability together with chemical resistance appropriate for standard laboratory environments, helping to maintain secure seals that minimise evaporation and contamination. Delivered as a single piece, the stopper engages the corresponding ground joint reliably and can be handled repeatedly without specialised tools. This useful accessory from manufacturer Hecht supports daily operations in research, teaching and production laboratories where dependable joint closures are essential. Its polyethylene construction facilitates easy cleaning and direct integration into existing glass assemblies. The NS 45/40 format ensures compatibility with European standard taper joints, positioning the stopper as a convenient spare or replacement part for multi-neck flasks, large adapters and similar apparatus requiring PE-HD stoppers.
This article is part of Ground-joint glass stoppers, in Stoppers, caps & closures.

Questions about Stoppers of HDPE, interchangeable NS 45/40
What is this article?
Stoppers of HDPE, interchangeable NS 45/40 is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Hecht for laboratory use. It sits in Ground-joint glass stoppers, inside Stoppers, caps & closures, in Matériel de laboratoire.
A ground-glass stopper matches a ground neck of a stated joint size. A 14/23 stopper does not seal a 29/32 neck. The stopper is part of the flask's seal, and a chip on the grind is a leak.
A closure is the part that decides whether a bottle stays shut and whether the contents attack the seal. A ground-glass stopper matches a ground neck. A screw cap needs the right thread and a liner that survives the liquid. Rubber and silicone stoppers push into a mouth. The liner, not the colour of the cap, is the chemical choice. The vessels they close are indexed under ISO laboratory glassware.
