Handling Chemicals in the Laboratory: Safety and Guidelines to Follow.
- When handling hazardous materials, work must be performed in the fume hoods.
- The containers used must be suitable for each task and the type of substance they are intended to hold: high-quality glass, plastic, or metal (special safety containers).
Roymaplast With more than 28 years of experience in manufacturing laboratory furniture, the company understands that the handling and transfer of chemicals must be carried out with the utmost safety.
We manufacture fume hoods in which laboratory staff must perform all work involving corrosive substances.
In addition, our laboratory furniture catalog features a variety of containers—such as sinks, basins, and sumps—that allow for the safe and reliable handling of chemicals in compliance with safety standards.
The plastic used by Roymaplast to manufacture containers, decanters, sinks, and other laboratory accessories is polypropylene (PP).
Polypropylene:
- It is highly resistant to various chemical solvents, as well as to alkalis and acids.
- Polypropylene has a wide range of applications, which is why it is considered one of the thermoplastics with the greatest potential for future development.
- It is an inert, fully recyclable product; its incineration does not cause any pollution, and the technology used to produce it has the lowest environmental impact.
