SpectroPellet® Protective Die Pellet Film
Available in 32, 35 and 40 mm sizes
Some powdered sample materials exhibit tendencies to adhere to the pellet die surface during the briquetting operation. This condition frequently results in repeated attempts to form a satisfactory sample briquette with increasing potential threats of cross contamination and elaborate time consuming clean ups. A novel approach to resolving this problem is by using Chemplex SpectroPellet Film in precut circles.
SpectroPellet® Film is characterized with a low coefficient of unwanted sample adhesion and high resistance to puncture. By simply inserting a SpectroPellet Film precut circle between the die pellet and powdered sample substance, a barrier is formed that protects the contact surfaces of the pellet die and briquetted sample. The unique combination of qualities of SpectroPellet Film maintains the briquetted sample material and pellet die surfaces intact by eliminating sample particle adhesion; pellet die clean ups are greatly facilitated.
Each precut SpectroPellet® Film circle is supported on a paper carrier frame for convenience of handling and application. Available in three different sizes for use with: 32, 35 and 40 mm diameter dies.
FAST, CONVENIENT AND SIMPLE TO USE
Place a small droplet of ordinary methyl, ethyl or isobutyl alcohol on the center of a clean surface of a die pellet. The alcohol serves as a temporary adhesive for attaching a SpectroPellet Film.
Transfer a SpectroPellet Film to the die pellet by first sliding a small amount of the precut circle from the carrier frame starting from one point of the pellet and across to the opposite end. Completely remove the carrier frame and use as a final centering aid of the precut film circle.
- Repeat the procedure to the surface of the second die pellet (or integrated die cap) and briquette the sample in the usual manner. The SpectroPellet® Film is easily removed and clean ups are minimal.
