Beaker, Polypropylene
Beaker, Polypropylene (Product Code: SLE/GB/05) is a lightweight plastic beaker with a pouring spout and marked graduations, made in six sizes from 50 ml to 2000 ml. It handles hot liquids — though never an open flame — and is a much lower-cost option than glass, which makes it a sensible choice for classrooms, field work and routine lab chores where breakage is a worry. It is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, as part of the range it offers as a lab plastic ware supplier in India.

Typical Use
Polypropylene beakers earn their place wherever glass would be at risk: middle-school practicals where younger students carry solutions between benches, collecting rinse water at a sink, preparing salt or sugar solutions for demonstrations, or holding water for floating-and-sinking and density activities. Hot water can be poured in straight from a kettle or a glass beaker, so they also serve as warm-water containers for dissolving experiments. For schools stocking school chemistry lab equipment in India on a tight budget, a few sizes of plastic beaker cover many non-heating tasks.
Keep them well away from burners and do not heat them directly; when a solution must be boiled, do it in glass and let it cool slightly before transferring. The spout helps pour cleanly into a funnel or cylinder.
Manufacturer
ScienceLab is the brand name used by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited of Ambala, Haryana, which makes this polypropylene beaker together with a broad catalogue of plastic and glass labware for teaching and testing labs. Background on the company is in our company profile.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I put this beaker on a burner or hot plate?
No. Polypropylene beakers can hold hot liquids but must not be used in an open flame, and we do not recommend direct heating on a hot plate either. Choose a glass beaker for heating.
Which sizes are available?
Six capacities: 50, 100, 250, 500, 1000 and 2000 ml. Tell us the mix of sizes you need when you enquire.
What graduation steps do the beakers have?
The beaker described in our listing is marked in 10 ml graduations and measures about 6 cm tall by 5 cm across. Graduation steps and dimensions for the larger sizes can be confirmed through our contact page.
Why choose plastic instead of glass?
Polypropylene is much less expensive than glass, lighter to handle and less likely to break if knocked over, which suits classrooms and field use where no heating is needed.
How should the beakers be cleaned?
Wash with warm water and a mild laboratory detergent using a soft brush, then rinse; avoid abrasive pads that scratch the surface and make the graduations harder to read.
Do you take bulk orders from institutions and distributors?
Yes. We quote for schools, colleges and distributors in India and international markets; include the sizes, quantities and delivery location in your request.
