For 100 years, Corning has developed special glass for use in both chemical and life science laboratories, including PYREX® glass. Made from Type 1, Class A low expansion borosilicate glass, PYREX® glassware has become the accepted standard in chemistry labs across the globe.View our product range: https://www.labdirect.com.au/brands/PYREX.html …

PYREX® Heatproof Slim-Line Lab Bottles - Save space on shelves, inside refrigerators and autoclaves.These round bottles can be used for storage as well as mixing and shaking. The indented side grips ensure easy handling. The bottles are graduated to their full working volume. The narrow profile uses less space on shelves, inside refrigerators and autoclaves. The new style cap has wider knurls for a more comfortable grip. It also requires 1/3 less turns to secure a closure. Indented …

PYREX® - A famous name in science PYREX® borosilicate glass is no ordinary glass. It's manufactured to have excellent temperature properties making it an essential part of any lab. PYREX® glassware makes products safe to use over a very wide temperature range (-192oC to +500oC) and therefore suitable for a variety of heating applications.  Glass can break very easily when subjected to heating or cooling. The high silica content (over 80%) gives PYREX® glas …

PYREX Beakers, PYREX Flasks, PYREX Cylinders and PYREX Test Tubes PYREX glass has excellent thermal properties at both high and low temperatures. The maximum recommended working temperature for PYREX laboratory glassware is approx 500°C (for short periods of time only). PYREX glass also performs well at lower temperatures. This glass can withstand conditions down to -190°C and is suitable for use with liquid nitrogen. In normal laboratory use, temperatu …

Due to the demanding conditions that laboratory glassware is subjected to, maximum chemical toughness, minimum thermal expansion and high resistance to thermal shock are the key properties of 3.3 expansion PYREX borosilicate glass make it the ideal material for use in the laboratory.Expansion (PYREX) borosilicate glass has a very high resistance to attack from water, acids, salt solutions, halogens and organic solvents. Only hydrofluoric acid, hot concentrated phosphoric acid and strong alkaline …
