Mortel agata

Agate is a quartz variety used for making mortar laboratory. These instruments are ideal for preparing samples of high purity by grinding and mixing substances semi-hard and hard thanks to the characteristics of the mineral used in its manufacture:
- High hardness (7 on the Mohs scale), which provides a high resistance to abrasion of non-contamination of samples by particles detached from the mortar.
- High density (2.6 g/cm3), ie, low porosity, minimizing sample loss and reducing cross contamination between samples.
- High resistance to chemical agents (acids, bases, organic solvents, etc.) except hydrofluoric acid and aqua regia.

Agate mortars present octagonal shape and interior and hand polished Flawless. The external surface is evenly sanded. The mortars are supplied complete with hand and they can also be purchased separately.
