Polypropylene Graduated Cylinders with Molded Graduations | Globe Scientific
Polypropylene graduated cylinders with molded graduations from Globe Scientific deliver reliable liquid measurement across eight volume capacities. Constructed from translucent polypropylene (PP), these cylinders provide excellent chemical resistance to acids, bases, and common solvents while eliminating the breakage risk associated with glass alternatives.
Each cylinder features permanently molded graduation marks that resist fading from repeated autoclaving at 121°C. The wide pentagonal base prevents tipping and rolling on laboratory benches, while the tapered pour spout enables controlled dispensing. A non-wetting interior surface reduces concave menisci for more accurate readings.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between molded and printed graduations?
Molded graduations are permanently embossed into the cylinder wall during manufacturing. They cannot fade, wash off, or be damaged by chemicals or autoclaving. Printed graduations use ink applied to the surface, offering higher contrast readability but may eventually wear with heavy use.
Can I autoclave these polypropylene cylinders?
Yes. Globe Scientific PP graduated cylinders withstand autoclaving at 121°C (250°F) for 20 minutes. The molded graduations remain fully legible after repeated sterilization cycles.
What accuracy class are these cylinders?
These cylinders conform to Class B tolerance per ISO 6706 and BS 5404 international standards for plastic graduated cylinders.
