Electrothermal Electromantles won’t cost you the lab

Heating sources remain a key fire source, and all laboratories should remain vigilant on fire safety, even those with the highest academic credentials. Electrothermal believes that they provide the best and most reliable heating mantles in the world, with an exemplary safety record of some 70 years to back this up.

Electrothermal pioneered the UK’s market for heating mantles, producing the first British-made heating mantle way back in 1943. Prior to this era, heating in chemical laboratories was potentially very dangerous, since open flame gas burners and electric glow coils were commonly used to heat oil, sand, molten metal, and water baths. Despite widespread safety concerns, heated baths are still in common usage today. They remain inherently dangerous as the hot fluid they contain is liable to be spilled or spattered should water be accidentally introduced, and a hot bath is very difficult to deal with in an emergency situation.

Electrothermal have always put safety at the forefront of their considerations, as shown by the early fire tests that were performed back in 1948. These demonstrated the high fire resistance of the Electromantles even in those days. Today, with over 70 years of experience in manufacturing heating mantles, Electrothermal can confidently state that their mantles are not only an excellent long-term investment for your laboratory, they are also safe and reliable.

Some of the key safety features include:

• Automatic cut-out if any liquid spill is detected
• High fire resistance
• Unique ventilation system prevents outer casing from getting hot
• Design optimised to prevent accidental burns
