This is a professional workshop or studio quality 26 Litre capacity degassing chamber.
The chamber itself is manufactured with a heavy-duty powder-coated steel construction. A custom designed silicone seal fits neatly, whilst the laser-cut clear acrylic lid ensures perfect closure.
The chamber is supplied complete with vacuum gauge, adjustable soft-release valve and all necessary fittings to connect directly to most standard vacuum hoses.
Suitable applications are:
•RTV Silicone Rubber
•Casting Resins

Whilst clear acrylic provides the best combination of clarity, durability and practicality for the vast majority of applications, it is highly susceptible to attack from solvents such as acetone and styrene, and acrylic compounds such as methacrylate ester. This is true for all potential lid materials (such as Plexiglass, Perspex and polycarbonate).
For this reason, the chamber must NOT be used for the degassing of acrylic resins (such as 'Cactus Juice' methacrylate) or styrene-borne resins such as polyesters and vinylesters. Use of the chamber to degas such materials will weaken the integrity of the lid and ultimately result in failure.
It is also essential to never use solvents such as acetone, alcohol or MEK to clean the lid.
