1. Material:
Glass reaction kettle is made of glass, usually stainless steel or special glass, such as borosilicate glass. Glass has good chemical stability, transparency, and heat resistance.
Plastic reaction kettle is made of various plastic materials, such as polyethylene, polypropylene, polytetrafluoroethylene(PTFE), etc. Plastic has good corrosion resistance and portability, but its heat resistance and mechanical strength are often lower than glass.
2. Temperature resistance:
Glass reaction kettle can withstand higher temperatures, and special glass can even withstand sudden temperature changes, suitable for high-temperature reactions.
The temperature resistance of the plastic reaction kettle is typically low, not suitable for high-temperature reactions, especially when the temperature exceeds the thermal deformation temperature of the plastic material.
3. Transparency:
The glass reaction kettle is transparent, and the reaction process can be directly observed, which is convenient for monitoring the reaction color and phase change.
The plastic reaction kettle is usually opaque, and it is not as convenient to observe the reaction process as the glass reaction kettle.
4. Chemical stability:
Glass reaction kettle has good stability to most chemicals, except for strong corrosive substances such as hydrofluoric acid.
The chemical stability of the plastic reaction kettle depends on the type of plastic selected. Materials such as PTFE have good stability to most chemicals, but some plastics may be sensitive to specific solvents or chemicals.
5. Mechanical strength:
The glass reaction kettle has high mechanical strength, but it is fragile and not impact resistant.
The mechanical strength of the plastic reaction kettle is lower, but the plastic has certain toughness and is not easy to break.
6. Scope of application:
Glass reaction kettle is suitable for experiments that require high temperature, high pressure, or observation of the reaction process.
Plastic reaction kettle is suitable for experiments at low temperature, low pressure, and special requirements for corrosion resistance.
7. Cost:
The glass reaction kettle usually has a higher cost, especially the special glass reaction kettle.
The cost of plastic reaction kettle is relatively low, especially common materials such as polyethylene and polypropylene.
When choosing a glass reaction kettle or a plastic reaction kettle, it should be based on the specific needs of the experiment, such as the type of reaction, temperature, pressure, cohesiveness, as well as budget and laboratory safety requirements.
