Parafilm M – Flexible Laboratory Sealing Film
Parafilm M is a versatile laboratory sealing film designed to provide a convenient temporary seal around laboratory vessels and containers. Its flexible, stretchable structure conforms closely to different shapes and surfaces, helping to reduce moisture loss and limit exposure to dust and external contaminants during routine laboratory procedures.
Common applications include:
-
Laboratory vessel sealing – flasks, beakers, test tubes and sample containers.
-
Sample preparation and storage – temporary covering and protection of laboratory samples.
-
Research and educational laboratories – general-purpose sealing during experiments and practical work.
-
Petri dishes and laboratory containers – additional protection during appropriate handling and storage procedures.
Parafilm M is intended for suitable laboratory sealing applications and should not be treated as a substitute for a sterile, hermetic or pressure-rated closure.
