Important Properties of CoorsTek
- Chemical-Porcelain Ware
- Thermal-Shock Resistance
- Average coefficient of expansion from 20° C to 200° C is 3.56 x 10-6, gradually increasing to 4.69 x 10-6 at 1000° C
- Experience has indicated suitability of particular shapes for specific uses
- It remains the responsibility of the user to determine the suitability for his or her use
- To prevent thermal stress cracks on porcelain ware, CoorsTek strongly recommends a heating/cooling rate not to exceed 200° C/hour
- High-alumina labware temperature change rate should not exceed 150° C/hour
Prolonging Labware Life
- Follow gradual heating and cooling rates.
- Use an oven or hot plate as an intermediate step when quicker heating/cooling rates are required.
- Gradually increase flame intensity when using a gas burner.
- Avoid contact of heated ware with a cold surface.
- Carefully inspect your labware prior to each use.
- Do not use any product that appears defective.
