Frequently asked questions
Common questions about JAECE from 3G Electric.
What sizes of JAECE foam stoppers are available?
JAECE foam stoppers are available in multiple sizes to fit screw closures from 6 mm to 75 mm. The range includes the L800-A (6–13 mm), L800-B2 (21–26 mm), L800-C (27–34 mm), L800-D and L800-D2 (46–50 mm), L800-E and L800-E2 (46–65 mm), and L800-G (66–75 mm). Each stopper has a specific bottom diameter, such as 1.5 cm for the L800-A and 7.6 cm for the L800-G. When selecting a size, match the stopper size range to the screw closure diameter of your container. The foam material provides a compressible fit, but it is not intended for pressure applications. For exact specifications, refer to the manufacturer part number and size chart.
What are JAECE foam stoppers made of?
JAECE foam stoppers are made of white foam, which is a lightweight and compressible material. This foam is designed to provide a barrier against dust and moisture when inserted into screw closures. It is not resistant to aggressive chemicals or high temperatures, and is intended for general-purpose sealing in laboratory, industrial, and packaging applications. The foam is not sterile, so additional cleaning may be required for sensitive environments. The material is soft enough to conform to slight irregularities in the closure opening, but it should not be used in applications requiring a hermetic seal or pressure resistance. For specific chemical compatibility, consult the manufacturer's guidelines.
How do I choose the correct JAECE foam stopper for my container?
To choose the correct JAECE foam stopper, measure the inner diameter of your container's screw closure. Then select a stopper whose size range includes that diameter. For example, if your closure measures 30 mm, the L800-C (27–34 mm) would be appropriate. The bottom diameter of the stopper should be slightly larger than the closure opening to ensure a snug fit. JAECE provides a range of sizes, so you can match the stopper to your specific container. If you are unsure, 3G Electric can assist with sizing based on your requirements. Always test the fit before use, as foam stoppers are designed for a compressible seal, not a threaded connection.
Are JAECE foam stoppers reusable?
JAECE foam stoppers are designed as single-use items. While they can be removed and reinserted, the foam may compress over time and lose its ability to provide a consistent seal. For applications requiring repeated opening and closing, a reusable closure such as a screw cap may be more suitable. The foam stoppers are intended for one-time protection during storage or transport, after which they can be discarded. If reuse is necessary, inspect the stopper for deformation or contamination before each use. However, for critical applications, using a new stopper is recommended to ensure proper function.
What are JAECE lab storage racks used for?
JAECE lab storage racks are used to organize and store laboratory containers, test tubes, and other labware. They provide a stable structure to hold items in place, reducing the risk of breakage and improving workspace efficiency. These racks are typically made from durable materials and are available in various configurations to accommodate different sizes and quantities of tubes or bottles. They are suitable for laboratory, industrial, and educational settings. 3G Electric supplies JAECE storage racks as part of its catalog of lab consumables. When selecting a rack, consider the dimensions of your containers and the available space. The racks are designed for benchtop or shelf use and are not intended for high-temperature or chemical exposure unless specified.
Can JAECE foam stoppers be used in industrial applications?
Yes, JAECE foam stoppers are used in industrial settings as well as laboratories. They serve as lightweight closures for containers with screw openings, providing protection against dust and moisture during storage or transport. Industrial applications may include temporary sealing of parts, packaging of components, or protection of sensitive items. However, they are not suitable for applications involving pressure, vacuum, or aggressive chemicals. The foam material is not resistant to high temperatures or solvents. For industrial use, verify that the stopper size matches the container closure and that the foam is compatible with the environment. 3G Electric supplies JAECE foam stoppers to industrial customers worldwide.
