Construction materials

The cartridge body can be manufactured in different engineering materials depending on the chemical compatibility required.

  • Acrylic resin for standard laboratory use
  • PEEK / PAEK for solvent-oriented workflows
  • PPS for solvent-oriented workflows

PEEK, PAEK and PPS are recommended for OSN applications.
