CAUTION: When draining the CentriVap Cold Trap always attach the grounding 
clip to the solvent catch pot to eliminate the risk of electrostatic spark ignition. 

 

 

Chemical Resistance of CentriVap 
Components 

Your CentriVap Mobile System is designed to be chemical resistant to most 
compounds that are commonly used in the concentration processes that are 
performed in it. However, by necessity, the CentriVap is comprised of a number 
of different materials, some of which may be attacked and degraded by certain 
chemicals. The degree of degradation is obviously dependent on the concentration 
and duration of exposure. Some major components of the CentriVap that are 
susceptible to degradation are as follows:
