Pestle & Mortar, Unglazed (Product Code: SLE/CH/216) is a white porcelain grinding set used to crush crystals and lumps into a fine, even powder in school and college laboratories. Its grinding surface is left unglazed, giving the slight roughness needed for efficient grinding, and the porcelain is chemical resistant, so it can be used with a wide range of laboratory solids. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, as part of its chemistry lab equipment range.

In school chemistry, students crush salt crystals before dissolving them or heating them in a dry test tube, a routine step in salt analysis practicals. College labs use it to powder samples for melting-point work and to blend solids before a reaction, pharmacy students grind tablets and mix powders during dosage-form practicals, and biology classes grind leaves with a little sand and solvent to extract plant pigments. That breadth is why it appears on almost every lab equipment list for school chemistry in India.
Work with small portions: press and rotate the pestle against the bowl rather than pounding, and scrape the powder back to the centre now and then. Because an unglazed surface can hold traces of earlier samples, rinse and brush it straight after use; grinding a little clean sand before washing helps lift stubborn residue. Many labs keep separate sets for coloured or toxic materials to avoid cross-contamination.

What material is the Pestle & Mortar, Unglazed?
The Pestle & Mortar, Unglazed is white porcelain, with the inside grinding surface left unglazed for better grip on the sample; the porcelain is chemical resistant for routine work with laboratory salts and solids.
Why choose an unglazed surface over a glazed one?
An unglazed surface, as on the Pestle & Mortar, Unglazed, adds friction, so crystals break down to a fine powder with less effort. A glazed surface is easier to wipe clean but grinds less efficiently.
Which sizes are available?
Size details for the Pestle & Mortar, Unglazed are not listed on this page. Tell us the bowl diameter or capacity you need through our contact page and we will confirm what can be supplied before quoting.
