Cellulose extraction thimbles are produced from high-quality alpha cellulose cotton linter and have excellent mechanical strength and retention. Standard single thickness thimbles have a wall thickness of approximately 1 mm (1. um nominal particle retention). Double thickness thimbles have a wall thickness of approximately 2 mm (6. um nominal particle retention) for applications where higher retention and increased wet or dry strength, or rigidity are required. The high purity of the materials ensures reliable and reproducible analytical results.
