Founded in 1959 as a precision turnery in Grünsfeld, Germany, Bohlender GmbH has developed BOLA into a leading brand for fluoroplastic laboratory equipment, remaining family-operated across two generations. In-house fabrication of PTFE, PFA, and FEP components from virgin grade PTFE, via isostatic molding of polymerized tetrafluoroethylene, ensures consistent quality from raw polymer stock through finished parts.
The BOLA range withstands aggressive chemical environments, including molten alkali metals: PTFE-jacketed stirrer shafts rated to 250°C, modular screw joint systems, PT 100 and PT 1000 temperature probes, PTFE and PFA reaction vessels up to 6 liters, and porous PTFE filtration devices for acids, alkalis, and volatile solvents. PFA offers translucency and non-porosity for high-purity work, while PTFE delivers universal chemical resistance, mechanical strength, and thermal stability across a wide temperature range. The non-adhesive surface extends service life and simplifies cleaning.
These fluoropolymer tools support distillation, acid digestion, microwave digestion, combinatorial chemistry, and cryogenic applications across chemistry, pharmaceutical, and industrial laboratories, integrating directly with existing glass hardware, agitators, and couplings.
MSE Supplies provides direct access to the BOLA catalog of PTFE labware, connecting laboratories with chemically inert, precision-manufactured components for analytical and process chemistry workflows.
MSE Supplies offers a curated selection of Buck Scientific instruments and sampling accessories, giving laboratories reliable access to rugged, application-ready analytical equipment backed by responsive support.
