Description:
The Paragon Darby Dipper Crucible is a ceramic vessel designed for melting borosilicate and soft glass in electric crucible kilns. The crucible measures 6 inches wide by 7 inches high at its outer dimensions and holds 8 to 10 pounds of borosilicate glass or 10 to 12 pounds of soft glass. It is constructed from high-temperature ceramic material formulated to withstand repeated heating and cooling cycles without cracking or degrading.
