VAPLOCK is a safety solution for scientists, chemical hygienists, and researchers worldwide, designed to ensure proper delivery and waste containment of industrial chemicals and solvents. A versatile product solution, Vaplock is useful wherever safety protocol for chemical handling is required or preferred, and through closed-system technology reduces harmful emissions which are potentially hazardous to employees and the environment.

GL45 CAP WITH INTEGRATED AIR INLET VALVE

 

Closed System Design

Reduce exposure to hazardous chemical vapours with Vaplock solvent reservoir caps. Minimizing evaporation, an integrated check valve permits air to enter the bottle for vacuum displacement while solvent is pumped to the instrument. A 50µm PTFE Filter covers the valve assembly to reduce particulates.

CHEMICAL EXHAUST FILTERS

Emission Reduction

Use Vaplock exhaust filters to mitigate health hazards and reduce harmful chemical emissions and odours from laboratory solvent containers. Developed and tested specifically for HPLC organic solvents, they may be used in conjunction with Vaplock breakthrough colour indicators to determine longevity and establish a replacement schedule.

Adaptable Design

Available in 75g and 300g cartridge sizes, Vaplock filters include activated media for organic solvents and are constructed of an HDPE housing with 1/4” NPT female receiving port. Attach to various point emission sources with Vaplock Filter Adapters.

BREAKTHROUGH INDICATORS

Colorimetric Change

Designed to detect the end-of-service life for Vaplock exhaust filters, breakthrough indicators respond under exposure to organic solvent vapours. Final effects display within minutes or hours of exposure. Colour saturation varies by solvent. Replace the exhaust filter when a variation occurs. Housing is acrylic, with borosilicate glass option available.

Multiple Solvent Detection

Breakthrough Indicators may be used with the following chemicals. This list is not comprehensive. Please inquire for detection of other organic solvents: Acetone, Acetonitrile, Acids (i.e. Acetic Acid, Hydrochloric Acid, Trichloroacetic Acid, Trichloroacetic Acid), Acrylonitrile, Aliphatic hydrocarbons (i.e. Hexane), Aromatic Hydrocarbons (i.e. Benzene, Toluene and Xylenes), Chlorinated hydrocarbons (i.e. Carbon Tetrachloride, Chloroform and Methylene Chloride), Ethanol, Ethyl Acetate, Ethyl Acrylate, Ethyl Ether, Gasoline, HFIP (Hexafluoroisopropanol), Methanol, Methyl Acrylate, Naphtha, Phenol, Sulfolane, THF (Tetrahydrofuran).

Product Usage

Not for use in the presence of basic vapours in high concentrations (i.e. Pyridine and aliphatic amines), which impair performance of the indicator. Does not respond to gaseous aliphatic hydrocarbons or aldehydes. Avoid Exposure to heat or direct sunlight. Use only at room temperature. Shelf life is 12 months. For analytical research purposes only.
