Material & Chemical Resistance

Polystyrene is a rigid thermoplastic that performs well with aqueous solutions and standard biological buffers under normal storage conditions. As with all PS components, exposure to acetone, alcohols above 70%, and aromatic or chlorinated solvents should be avoided, as these can craze, soften, or dissolve the material. Polystyrene is not autoclavable and is intended for ambient or cool storage applications rather than high-temperature processing.

Made in USA, these Caplugs® Evergreen tamper-evident replacement locks are produced under ISO 9001 quality management from BPA-free, phthalate-free, latex-free polystyrene resin. LabSupplies.com is an authorized dealer and ships from USA inventory, typically same business day for stocking items, with tiered pricing available for institutional and high-volume purchasers.
