Silica Combustion Boats – High-Purity Fused Silica Sample Boats | GLASSWORLD South Africa

Silica Combustion Boats are high-purity fused silica laboratory vessels used for holding solid samples during high-temperature combustion, ashing, fusion, and elemental analysis procedures. Their exceptional thermal stability, chemical inertness, and resistance to thermal shock make them the preferred choice for demanding analytical and industrial laboratory applications where conventional glassware or porcelain is insufficient.

Key Features

• High-purity fused silica construction – Minimal contamination risk for trace element and elemental analysis
• Extreme temperature resistance – Withstands temperatures up to 1100°C continuously
• Excellent thermal shock resistance – Suitable for rapid heating and cooling cycles without cracking
• Chemically inert – Resistant to most acids and corrosive substances at high temperatures
• Available in 9mm and 11mm sizes – To suit different sample volumes and instrument requirements
• Smooth surface finish – Easy sample loading, handling, and cleaning

Available Sizes

• 9mm Silica Boats
• 11mm Silica Boats

Applications

• Combustion analysis for carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, and sulphur (CHNS) determination
• Ashing and ignition of organic and inorganic samples
• High-temperature fusion in analytical chemistry
• Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) sample holders
• Elemental analysis in geological, environmental, and food samples
• Mining and geochemical sample preparation
• Materials science and ceramics research

Available in 9mm and 11mm sizes. Supplied to analytical, mining, and research laboratories across South Africa and sub-Saharan Africa. Request a quote for pricing, sizes, or bulk orders.
