These are all very good questions and those PDFs are quite informative
Our filtration housing is Polystyrene same as Millipore Stericup which can handle limited exposure during the filtering process.
The glass beaker is made of GG-17 Borosilicate glass, temp tolerance: 800℃.And not to be a bitch, but those media bottles and beakers look to be the cheap Chinese garbage that's shatters from minimal heat.
Also are those syringe filters sterile units and if so what is the expiration date on them?

The reagent bottles, body is made of Borosilicate glass 3.3, temp tolerance: 800℃.
GL45 Blue Cap, made of PP Plastic, temp tolerance: 140℃
The Syringe Filters expiration dates are 10/2024
once again, I'm not a lab. I'm here to support everyone that would like to brew at home. and for those that don't want to brew at home they can go to one of the hundreds of labs that are on here.Look bro just because that's what the specs say doesn't mean it's true. I've used tons of glassware over the years and the cheap Amazon/Alibaba shit does NOT hold up for extended periods of time or to temperature fluctuations or to the very high temperatures as advertised mainly due to thinner glass walls and/or improper production methods when being made.
I used to blow glass for a living and I can tell you that the cheap Chinese and Indian boro glass is not the same quality as German schott glass or corning. It's not as clear and will have a decent amount of defects/ imperfections.Look bro just because that's what the specs say doesn't mean it's true.

The other thing I noticed was the Chinese glass was much more prone to exploding when I would initially warm into the glass with my torch or while cooling off during the annealing process.
I could use high quality glass and do a quick flame annealing process and then let my pieces air cool with the schott glass. The Chinese glass would often times crack if I tried the same thing.
Usually, a hot piece of glass is put into a kiln to be slowly annealed, but with high quality glass, I could usually get away with the above mentioned technique and run the kiln once I had a full load instead of all day to help control the heat my shop from being too hot in the summer.
Bottom line, is there is definitely a difference in quality of glass that is sold as borosilicate. Corning and schott are the brands I know are way higher quality.
The Chinese shit is cheaper for a good reason.

Freedom of choice.. They can buy my supplies or not. My supplies are legit for the home brewer. You obviously are pushing for your new business. Having gone from member to source so recently does that mean you are no longer in harm reduction/advice and just in it to push your product? There are plenty of good labs for those who choose to buy their gear. I appreciate you "trying to help" but most of all you have kept my thread up.How the fuck can someone brew at home using filters made from PES material that will just dissolve into the brew and ruin it?
Stock proper supplies or GTFOH!
His whole conversation with you so far has seemed like he is doing harm reduction actually. I know zero about brewing. He does. And if he is saying what you are selling could cause contamination due to being sub par quality, then anyone looking to brew would need to go else where. From the start it looked like he was trying to help you. You took offense.Freedom of choice.. They can buy my supplies or not. My supplies are legit for the home brewer.

Him being a source is not relevant to the fact that benzyl benzoate will melt PES. He’s saving people a potential infection by pointing that out.Freedom of choice.. They can buy my supplies or not.

I'm not offended with what he said about the filters. I Liked what he said and am looking into other filters to carry. I'm not new to brewing and I wouldn't sell anything I don't use myself.His whole conversation with you so far has seemed like he is doing harm reduction actually. I know zero about brewing. He does.

PVDF filters with polypropylene housings are what you want.
Edit: fill one of those filters with the PES housings with 18% BA and GSO and leave it overnight. You’ll be in for a treat in the morning.

I'm not offended, you're trying to push people away from home brewing.
