Powder Funnel 2.6in EISCO Polypropylene Parallel Stem Filling Funnel

Description

Product Overview

The EISCO Powder Funnel is engineered for precision and durability, featuring a 2.6in (66mm) wide opening that accommodates a broad range of laboratory and workshop tasks. Constructed from high‑grade polypropylene, the funnel resists corrosion from acids, alkalis, and a variety of organic solvents, making it suitable for both chemical and biological environments. The parallel stem, measuring 0.9in in length with a 15.5mm outer diameter, is specifically designed to reduce powder bridging, a common issue that can lead to inaccurate measurements and material loss. The funnel’s compact dimensions—6 x 4 x 4 inches—and lightweight profile (0.35 ounces) allow for easy handling, storage, and transport. Its smooth interior surface promotes effortless flow of powders and liquids, while the sturdy rim provides a secure fit over standard laboratory containers, beakers, and flasks.

Usage

Designed with versatility in mind, this funnel excels in a variety of settings. In professional laboratories, it streamlines the transfer of fine reagents, catalysts, and analytical standards, reducing the risk of spillage and contamination. Science classrooms benefit from its user‑friendly design, allowing students to conduct experiments involving solid‑state reactions, crystallization, and solution preparation with confidence. For home hobbyists, makers, and garage workshops, the funnel serves as an essential tool for DIY chemistry, electronics soldering flux application, and even culinary tasks such as precise spice dispensing. Its chemical‑resistant construction ensures that it can be safely used with a wide spectrum of substances, from strong acids like hydrochloric acid to alkaline solutions such as sodium hydroxide, without degrading or leaching unwanted materials.

FAQ

Can this funnel be used with hot liquids?

Yes. The polypropylene material is heat‑tolerant up to approximately 120°C, allowing safe transfer of warm solutions without deformation.

Is the funnel compatible with standard laboratory glassware?

The funnel’s rim is sized to fit common laboratory containers such as beakers, flasks, and graduated cylinders, making it a versatile addition to any lab inventory.

How do I clean the funnel after use?

Rinse the funnel with warm water and a mild detergent, then allow it to air‑dry. For stubborn residues, a brief soak in a compatible solvent followed by thorough rinsing will restore the interior to a pristine condition.

What makes the parallel stem different from a regular stem?

The parallel stem maintains a consistent diameter along its length, preventing the formation of arches that can trap powder. This design promotes a smoother flow and reduces the need for tapping or shaking.

Does the funnel come with a warranty?

EISCO offers a limited one‑year warranty covering material defects and manufacturing errors, ensuring you receive a reliable product backed by professional support.
