The PolyPhoenix modular distillation range are primarily made out of a material called PPSU.
This material is 100% safe with hot alcohol vapour that will not leech any chemicals into your product.
PPSU is an excellent choice for components that are exposed to high temperatures (up to 200°C) and corrosive media due to its exceptional chemical resistance. As well as being extremely impact resistant.
We have decided to use this type of plastic because it also has superior thermal and mechanical properties with the added benefit of being transparent. This will allow us to injection mold intricate parts that would have been near impossible to do in stainless steel or lab-grade glass. Because this is a very unique type of plastic, it comes at a much higher cost per kg than other industrial plastics. So much so that it costs more than stainless steel.
The PolyPhoenix Condenser can be used in multiple configurations for your distillation set up. Most commonly it is used in the hammerhead configuration (horizontal). But it can also be used Vertically with some quick adjustments to the 3" TC housings.

"the hammerhead is great for reflux, but I think it's ideal to have a dephlagmator before the vapour outlet/ Liebig, as the output is quite smeared with this setup. Unfortunately no way of adding it in line at this stage. Maybe need to get a 4 port 3" column to test. The hammerhead however cools quite well and does it's part."
"seems to work really well"
"Great hammerhead condenser. Looks the part as well!"
"I have used this a condenser in a couple of different ways and it's great, easily knocks down all vapour I can throw at it!"
"This piece of kit is ground breaking, the configurations are up to your imagination. I'll definitely be buying more of kit bits. Highly Recommend. *****star."
