Cell Lab PTFE (Teflon) Planetary Ball Mill Grinding Jars [50 ml – 5,000 ml]

Cell Lab PTFE (Teflon) Planetary Ball Mill Grinding Jars [50 ml – 5,000 ml]

High-purity PTFE jars for caustic & abrasive sample milling in planetary ball mills

Cell Lab PTFE (Teflon) planetary ball mill grinding jars are engineered for ultra-clean, chemical-resistant milling in advanced R&D and industrial laboratories.
The non-stick surface minimises sample retention, while the high chemical inertness of PTFE ensures zero cross-contamination during milling.
Ideal for caustic, abrasive, or high-purity samples such as ceramics, catalysts, environmental materials, and battery components.
Each jar includes a lid and silicone sealing gasket; grinding media are ordered separately.

Key Features

• Pure PTFE construction – outstanding chemical stability, non-stick surface, and effortless cleaning.

• Exceptional abrasion resistance – designed to handle caustic or abrasive powders without premature wear.

• Secure sealing – silicone gasket and precision lid prevent leaks and maintain sample integrity.

• Broad compatibility – fits most planetary ball mills used in laboratories and pilot R&D setups.

• Wide capacity range – available from 50 ml to 5,000 ml for flexible experimental scaling.

• Corrosive material processing – high-purity applications requiring chemical inertness

FAQ

Q1: Can PTFE jars be used for both wet and dry milling?
A: Yes. PTFE jars are ideal for both modes. Their smooth, non-stick surface prevents material adhesion, even with slurry-type samples.

Q2: Are PTFE jars chemically stable with acids or alkalis?
A: Absolutely. PTFE is chemically inert to most acids, alkalis, and solvents, making it suitable for caustic and reactive material milling.

Q3: What grinding media should I use with PTFE jars?
A: Use zirconia or alumina balls for optimal chemical compatibility. Avoid metal-based media to prevent contamination.

Q4: Are PTFE jars temperature-resistant?
A: They maintain stability up to ~200 °C but should not be exposed to direct heating or flame. For higher temperatures, consider PEEK or alumina jars.

Q5: How do I maintain PTFE jars for long-term use?
A: Clean gently with ethanol or deionised water, avoid sharp tools, and store away from UV exposure. Check sealing gaskets periodically for wear.
