Wenesco Corrosion-Resistant Hot Plates
Model HP1218CR
The Wenesco Model HP1218CR is engineered for heating aggressive acids and corrosive chemical compounds in laboratory and industrial processing environments.
Designed for use under a fume hood, this corrosion-resistant hot plate separates the remote temperature controller from the heating surface, protecting sensitive controls from harsh chemical exposure while maintaining precise thermal performance.
Independent material testing demonstrated exceptional chemical resistance during exposure to TCu digestion acid containing nitric acid, hydrofluoric acid, potassium chlorate, and water.
Even after boiling exposure and 48 hours of chemical contact, the tested materials showed no appreciable deterioration, supporting long-term reliability in demanding chemical processing applications.
Wenesco welcomes your inquiry regarding other sizes and shapes.
MODELS HP1224CR and HP1236CR
The Wenesco Models HP1224CR and HP1236CR are corrosion-resistant hot plates designed for industrial heating applications requiring elevated temperatures and chemical durability.
Operating temperatures up to 325°C allow these systems to support demanding thermal processing tasks in laboratories, chemical facilities, and industrial manufacturing environments where corrosive vapors and acids are present.
These models are available with a Fotek thermostat and custom-made fume exhaust hood to improve operator safety and thermal process control.
Their corrosion-resistant construction supports consistent heating performance, reduced maintenance concerns, and reliable operation in harsh processing environments where standard hot plates may fail prematurely.
