PARAFILM® M AND DISPENSER
Parafilm® M is a unique self-sealing, moldable and flexible film for numerous uses in the typical laboratory including electron microscope laboratories. Parafilm® M has unique permeability properties, impressive water vapor transport properties, and is resistant to many common reagents. With the use of the special Parafilm® M dispenser, which is sized to take either the 2" ( 50.8 mm) or 4" ( 101.6 mm) wide rolls, one can conveniently cut off uniform sized strips or squares of 2" ( 50.8 mm) length. The thickness of all Parafilm products is 0.005" ( 127µ m) .
Parafilm:
The Parafilm M sealing film have become so successful that new products have been introduced for specific markets such as Parafilm Budding ( Grafting) Tape, Parafilm® Florist Stem Wrap, and Floratape® . A comparison between these different Parafilm products can be understood in a very short time period.
Laboratory:
Parafilm® is ideal for the scientific laboratory because it is a thermoplastic, self-sealing film. It holds moisture loss to a minimum. It offers excellent protection for the contents of tubes, flasks, and petri dishes. The unique properties of the film enable it to cling around even irregular shapes and convoluted surfaces. Parafilm® M can be stretched 3-4 times its original length before breaking.
