Siliconising Glassware

All glassware is siliconised before being dispatched. It will
•
eventually require resiliconising in order to maintain its water
repellant qualities.
CAUTION: THE WORKROOM MUST BE WELL VENTILATED.
•
Clean the glassware thoroughly and ensure it is free from grease.
•
Wash out and immerse the glassware in a water repelling
•
treatment such as Merck Ltd, "Repelcote VS".
Make sure the glassware is fully wetted by the solution.
•
Allow the solvent to evaporate. There will normally be sufficient
•
absorbed by water on the glassware to hydrolyse "Repelcote VS"
to a highly water repellent silicone film.
