Product details
Parafilm M Laboratory Sealing Film
Parafilm M is the stretchy, semi-transparent film that laboratories use to seal tubes, flasks, beakers and petri dishes. It is made by Amcor and has been in use since 1936.
The film stretches to more than twice its length and clings to itself and to regular or odd-shaped openings, so it seals without glue. It is waterproof, colourless and odourless. It lets oxygen and carbon dioxide through, so cultures can still breathe, while it holds back moisture and stops samples drying out. It resists polar substances for up to 48 hours. CSI Labshop can supply Parafilm M in Malaysia.
