Durable stainless steel mixing bowls for dental labs and clinics. The deep, rounded interior mixes alginate, plaster, and stone smoothly, while the flat base and rolled rim give stable control and neat pouring. Non-reactive steel resists stains and odors, cleans fast, and nests for compact storage. Choose these bowls for consistent mixes, easy hygiene, and long service life on a busy bench.
Description
These stainless steel mixing bowls are reliable, all-purpose containers for dental clinics, laboratories, and workshops. The deep profile and rounded interior make scraping and combining materials smooth and consistent, while the flat base keeps the bowl stable on the bench. Bowls nest to save space and many sets include easy-to-read internal graduations for quick volume checks. Non-reactive stainless steel resists stains, odors, and corrosion, so cleanup is fast and hygiene is simple.
