Filter Funnel - Poly - 5cm

This 5cm polythene filter funnel offers an essential and durable tool for safe and efficient liquid transfer in laboratory environments. Crafted from chemically resistant polythene, the funnel is specifically designed to handle a wide range of substances including acids and alkalis without compromising its structural integrity. Its compact size and sturdy design make it a reliable option for classrooms, fieldwork, and laboratory use where smaller volumes of liquid handling are common. The smooth finish and precisely engineered shape reduce the likelihood of spills, improving safety and ease of use in busy science settings.

Ideal for both primary and secondary school science programs, this funnel supports the teaching of filtration, solution preparation, and chemical handling techniques. Its transparency allows students to observe liquid movement, reinforcing understanding of flow dynamics and filtering processes.
