CoorsTek AD-998 Labware is made of 99.8% pure aluminum oxide. Highly resistant to chemical attack, this alumina-ceramic ware is especially useful to chemists, metallurgists, and others involved in high-temperature work demanding contamination-free results. AD-998 ware is highly refractory, meant for use in reducing and oxidizing atmospheres. It is inert in hydrogen and carbonaceous atmospheres and offers high resistance to alklalies and other fluxes. Suitable for glass melting, including borosilicate glass. Recommended for use with refractory metals such as molybdenum, platinum, rhodium, tungsten, tantalum, and iridium. High-Alumina Labware temperature change rate should not exceed 150° C/hour.
