SIL G unmodified standard silica layers for TLC, glass plates/ POLYGRAM^®

Support materials for TLC ready-to-use layers

Glass plates: glass, 1.3 mm thick, high requirements for weight, packaging and storage, ideal torsional strength, high temperature stability, susceptible to breakage, can not be cut with scissors, high resistance against solvents, mineral acids and conc. ammonia, suitability for aqueous detection reagents depends on the phase

POLYGRAM^®: polyester, 0.2 mm thick, low requirements for weight, packaging and storage, low torsional strength, max. 185 °C temperature stability, not susceptible to breakage, can be cut with scissors, high resistance against solvents, mineral acids and conc. ammonia, very suitable for aqueous detection reagents

ALUGRAM^®: aluminium, 0.15 mm thick, low requirements for weight, packaging and storage, relatively high torsional strength, high temperature stability, not susceptible to breakage, can be cut with scissors, high resistance against solvents, low resistance against mineral acids and conc. ammonia, limited suitability for aqueous detection reagentsGlass plates, POLYGRAM^®, ALUGRAM^®
