Its been a while since I have been here, but I have had Hell trying to find a friendly source of Berl saddles and Raschig rings. I've been here long
enough to have read a number of threads on fractional distillation column packing to know that glass beads/balls can work but aren't very efficient.
Ace& Chemglass, as usual, are no direct help. Pall rings and Stainless steel isn't always the best for some distillations. If there's a more
efficient& obtainable column packing for 24/40 size glass please comment.
In short: can anyone help me find enough 4mm& 5mm Raschig rings to fill a (max) 500mm 24/40 hemple column? Or maybe Berl saddles for the organic
solvent separations?
Advice, comment and help are sorely appreciated. Thanks and good night.

Ebay UK sells them.

You can use alumina desiccant ball if you don't want to have any water in your distillate. Since distilled water is like $1/gallon at the grocery
store, I'm assuming this is true.
