This looks like plastic? Isn't plastic bad for distillation?
In short, this piece is made out of Polyphenylsulfone (PPSU)
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. It is also free of any plasticisers and BPA materials.

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.

Reviews

Plastic isn't the best feel on tc clamps

"Listen, they work perfectly. Strong plastic that doesn't deform or discolor (yet). And it insulates better than metal and stays cooler on the outside as a result. Allows good visibility in the column and very easy to clean (dishwasher). My only thing I don't like is tightening the triclover clamps on it. They creak without cracking, but man that makes me uncomfortable. I have no idea how far off I am from cracking them."
