SICCO Technical Information
SICCO Iris-Ports
For a quick access to the work space and for applications that don’t require an inert atmosphere SICCO Iris-Ports are a real alternative to the mounted gloves.
SICCO Iris-Ports consist of a stable ring made of polyethylene. Two slot- ted silicone discs are attached inside the ring. The overlapping segments of the crosswise slotted silicone discs allow at the same time an easy access to the work space and minimize the air exchange when the glove box is not in use.
The iris-ports are mounted to the already existing glove ports. After the gloves were removed the iris-port is fixed by rotating and simultaneously sliding it on the port.
Now you have direct access to the work space without putting on and removing the gloves.
SICCO Closing lid
Without the mounted gloves the glove ports are permanently opened. Therefore an unopposed air exchange with the environment happens which depending on the application may lead to contamination of the work space or to the outlet of hazardous powders and particles.
This can easily be prevented by using the SICCO Closing lid for glove ports. The lid is turned on the glove port and is kept in place by means of a silicone cord seal. The lid is not gas tight.
