Spoon spatula model H-2

The spatula or laboratory spoon is a tool used for sampling and taking very small amounts of solid chemicals. In addition to the spatula, various types of porcelain, plastic, or metal spoons are also used. Sometimes, the spatula is used to soften solid materials. The spatula has a handle, and the other end is wider. Spatulas are made of stainless steel. There are different brands of spatulas, some of which show resistance to acidic and alkaline materials, as well as heat and various solvents. This makes them widely applicable in contact with different compounds. Small spatulas are used in dental offices and laboratories for spreading or softening molds, waxes, and cements. Orthodontists and dentists typically create wax or putty molds of teeth, and they often use this tool to manipulate and carve these materials. They are also used for making and adjusting mouthguards and other dental items.
