PackedColumnTubing
Restek offers a wide range of tubing choices for our packed columns, including
SilcoSmooth® (Siltek®-treated stainless steel), stainless steel,Hastelloy®, nickel, copper,
andTeflon® tubing. SilcoSmooth® and stainless steel tubing are our twomost popular
column materials. SilcoSmooth® tubing is an excellent replacement for fragile glass
columns. Stainless steel tubing works well with most applications for nonreactive
compounds.
SilcoSmooth®Tubing
If your analysis involves reactive compounds, you can use fragile and inflexible glass
columns, or you can stepup to SilcoSmooth® tubingwhich combines the inertness of
glasswith the strength and flexibilityof stainless steel.Made fromultra-smooth, seam-
less 304 stainless steel and treated with the innovative Siltek® deactivation process,
SilcoSmooth® tubing can replace glass columns for virtually any application.
StainlessSteelTubing

flexible,andeconomical stainless steel columns.Restek stainless steel columnsaremade
fromhigh-qualityweldrawn tubing.

usedonly for highly corrosive or oxidizing compounds or gases.
NickelTubing
Nickel tubing is oftenused for analyses of caustic or oxidizing compounds or gases.
CopperTubing
Copper is a general purpose tubing that is only recommended for nonactive
compounds.
Teflon®Tubing
