The PolyPhoenix modular distillation range are primarily made out of a material called PPSU.
This material is 100% safe with hot alcohol vapour that will not leech any chemicals into your product.
PPSU is an excellent choice for components that are exposed to high temperatures (up to 200°C) and corrosive media due to its exceptional chemical resistance. As well as being extremely impact resistant.
We have decided to use this type of plastic because it also has superior thermal and mechanical properties with the added benefit of being transparent. This will allow us to injection mold intricate parts that would have been near impossible to do in stainless steel or lab-grade glass. Because this is a very unique type of plastic, it comes at a much higher cost per kg than other industrial plastics. So much so that it costs more than stainless steel.
The PolyPhoenix Condenser can be used in multiple configurations for your distillation set up. Most commonly it is used in the hammerhead configuration (horizontal). But it can also be used Vertically with some quick adjustments to the 3" TC housings.
