[Nhcoll-l] Supplier for Silicone Buna-n Gaskets

[Dirk Neumann]

Hi all,

thanks for sharing, Kris! Are there any manufacturers / retailers in good old Europe ? We have a similar problem and currently want to explore available options.

With best wishes
Dirk

External Email - Exercise Caution
Dear all,
While we are phasing out bail-top jars for most new acquisitions in the Mollusk Collection at Ohio State, we are looking to purchase new gaskets because we still use bail-tops for lots with volumes above 1L.
We use the standard Le Parfait jars in the following sizes – opening diameters:
1L – 84.6mm
1.5 – 80.5 mm
2L – 84.0 mm
3L – 99.5 mm

Anyone have a good bulk supplier of archival Silicone Buna-N gaskets for these? I vaguely remember a Smithsonian best practices document that had suppliers listed, but can’t find it online now.
-Nate
