Impulse sealers can be used in the laboratory for securely sealing specimen bags and to insure a water and airtight seal for autoclaving and sterilization procedures. These heatsealers provide an exceptional 2 mm wide air and watertight seal on most plastic materials up to 6 mm in thickness, including polyethyelene, polypropylene, polyurethane and more. Seal length is 305 mm (12"). An adjustable timer knob allows you to set the timing of the heating element according to the type of plastic you are sealing. All sealers are pretested and provide a warranty that guarantees dependability and durability. The impulse sealers are highly energy-efficient; the heating element only heats up and uses power when sealing. Comes fully assembled. UL and CE listed.
