25 Glass plates 20 x 20 cm

Our classical silica TLC plates are based on a combination of our proven silica gel 60 and the addition of a unique polymeric binder resulting in a very adherent and hard surface that will not crack or blister and even allow writing with a pensil on the surface without risk to damage the layer.

Specific surface area (according to BET; 5-Pt. measurement): 480 - 540 m²/g

Pore volume (N₂-isotherm): 0.74 - 0.84 ml/g

d 50 (laser diffraction, size distribution): 9.7 - 11.7 µm

Layer thickness: 210 - 270 µm

Deviation of layer thickness per plate: ≤ 35 µm
