Gastec 252S2-20 Silica Gel Tube

The Gastec 252S2-20 Silica gel tube is a high-capacity collection media specifically engineered for capturing organic solvent vapors in industrial work environments. With its single-layer design and substantial 600mg charging quantity, this tube ensures effective adsorption of target substances for precise laboratory analysis.

Description

Gastec 252S2-20 Silica Gel Tube accurate assessment of workplace air quality depends on the integrity of the collection media. The Gastec 252S2-20 Silica gel tube provides a stable and highly absorbent surface for the entrapment of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Unlike standard collection methods, silica gel has a specific chemical affinity for polar molecules, making it indispensable for monitoring solvents that are commonly used in industrial cleaning, chemical processing, and manufacturing.

The performance of the Gastec 252S2-20 Silica gel tube is driven by its high-grade silica gel adsorbent, which effectively retains vapors as air is drawn through the tube by a sampling pump. The 600mg charging quantity offers a high surface area for adsorption, minimizing the risk of sample breakthrough during standard sampling durations. This ensures that the samples sent to the laboratory represent an accurate concentration of the contaminants present in the breathing zone of workers.
