There are 2 types of Glass Reactors:
- Glass Reactors for pressure applications (max. 12 bar)
- Glass reactors for mainly vacuum applications (full vacuum -1 bar to +1 bar)
Glass Reactors for Pressure applications: Glass pressure reactors or stirred Lab autoclaves are mainly used in chemical research. Glass pressure reactors are corrosion resistant and allow the chemist to visually observe the reaction. Safety measures are integrated in the systems to allow safe operation under pressure. Our Pressure Reactor systems allow the use of different reactor vessels within the same unit, they are interchangeable against metal vessels (pressure ratings > 12bar), if needed with sight glass. | Glass reactors for vacuum applications: We differentiate 2 types of Laboratory glass reactors for chemical processing: «minipilot» with reactor volumes of 5 – 15 liter Glass Reactors with 10 to 200 liter reactor volume | |

Laborartory Glass reactors are made in Borosilicate Glass, it was developed in 1887 by Otto Schott and Ernest Abbe in Jena Germany, Borosilicate glass is also known as Pyrex, Duran or Jena Glass. Laboratory glass Reactors in Borosilicate glass provide several advantages:
- wide operation temperature range
- very low thermal expansion (linear over a wide temperature range)
- It’s hydrophobic characteristic makes it easy to clean the complete chemical or pharmaceutical reaction unit
- The inert attitude is another important factor, and at the other factor is obvious - it is transparent.
