8" ECO Funnel features a 38mm closure that fits on glass and plastic bottles with 38-430, 38-400 and 38-439 closures. Our patented design features a flat lid design with large inner gasket to keep fumes safely contained.
Segregate your waste streams with color-coded ECO Funnels. Every organization has its own color-coding rules and systems in place, but proper segregation of hazardous waste is required for all laboratories. One popular way to color-code chemicals is described to the right. You can use our four lid colors to keep certain waste streams separate.
Common chemical waste disposal rules to follow:
- Segregate acids from bases
- Segregate oxidizers from organic solvents
- Segregate flammable liquids from acids, bases, oxidizers
- Segregate corrosives acids from flammables, bases, oxidizers
- Segregate corrosive bases from oxidizers and acids
- Segregate water-reactive from aqueous solutions and oxidizers
Common Color-Coding Systems
The 8" version of our ECO Funnel includes an additional safety feature to prevent over-filling that the 4" version does not have; a secondary air-lock tube creates a small air gap in your waste container, which causes fluid to back up temporarily into the funnel when the container is full. After the screw cap adapter is loosened, the remaining fluid will safely flow into the container and not spill.
