| Available sizes | Use for | |
|
Stainless steel (Blue) |
5, 15, 30 ml | General milling - Stainless steel is a great choice for a wide range of applications. It has good wear resistance, impact force, and is affordable. Avoid use with corrosive material. |
| PTFE (Green) | 5, 15, 30 ml | Iron free milling of soft materials - If iron free milling is required but high impact force is not, PTFE is the right choice. It may be important to consider iron free milling if working with biological systems. PTFE has excellent chemical resistance to a wide range of organic solvents, acids, and bases. |
| Zirconia (Red) | 5, 15, 30 ml | Iron free milling of hard materials If both iron free mill and high impact force are required, zirconia is the best choice. Zirconia extremely hard and chemically inert. It is especially suited to catalytic and electronic applications. |
| PMMA (Clear) | 5, 15, 30 ml | In-situ techniques - These jars are optically clear and used for techniques such as in-situ Ramen, IR, and X-Ray diffraction. Avoid organic solvents. |
