Why Polished Vessels Are Essential for High-Purity Chemical Storage
High-purity chemicals demand exceptional containment systems to preserve their specifications. Polished vessels deliver:
- Contamination Prevention: Electropolished surfaces minimize particle generation and product contamination
- Chemical Compatibility: Inert surfaces prevent unwanted reactions with stored chemicals
- Extended Shelf Life: Reduced interaction between vessel surface and chemical contents
- Enhanced Purity Maintenance: Mirror-like finishes eliminate micro-environments where degradation can occur
- Trace Metal Control: Minimizes leaching of metal ions into sensitive chemicals
