{"title":"Plastic Stirring Rods","description":"\u003cp\u003eA plastic stirring rod is a solid polypropylene rod used to mix a solution by hand or guide a controlled pour between containers, in the same way as a glass stirring rod. The key difference is chemical resistance: polypropylene withstands hydrofluoric acid and other reagents that would etch or attack glass, making a plastic stirring rod the safer choice for that kind of work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSmartLabs stocks plastic stirring rods for laboratories and classrooms across South Africa where an unbreakable, chemical-resistant rod is needed, from HF acid handling to everyday use around younger students or in field settings. A stirring rod remains one of the simplest tools on any lab bench, and choosing polypropylene over glass is a straightforward way to match the rod to the chemistry involved.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"stirring-rod-polypropylene","title":"Polypropylene Stirring Rod","description":"\u003cp data-start=\"804\" data-end=\"1016\"\u003eThe Polypropylene Stirring Rod is a simple and durable tool designed for mixing liquids in laboratory and classroom environments.
