POM (Polyoxymethylene) Ground Joint Clips

Clips moulded in POM (Polyoxymethylene) for securing ground joint connections in laboratory assemblies. The plastic construction eliminates the scratching and marking on glassware associated with conventional metal clips.

Material and Properties of POM

Polyoxymethylene is an engineering thermoplastic combining high rigidity, low friction and good chemical resistance to common organic solvents. Leaves no marks on glass and maintains clamping tension without deforming under continuous use.

• Material: POM (Polyoxymethylene)
• Effect on glassware: Will not scratch or mark ground glass surfaces
• Chemical resistance: Compatible with common organic solvents
• Mechanical behaviour: High rigidity — does not deform under clip tension

Applications

Simple and fractional distillation setups, reflux systems, chromatography columns and any assembly using standard ground glass joints. Particularly useful when working with delicate glassware or where point-pressure breakage must be avoided.

Usage Notes

Check chemical compatibility with concentrated acids or strong bases before direct contact with aggressive reagents. For oven or autoclave use, consult the working temperature range before application.
