Glass reactors application

The Application of Glass Reactor （From toption-china.com）In recent years, advanced technology plays a very important role in our daily life and it has changed a lot. There are a number of useful devices on today’s market. In this article, we are going to talk about glass reactor which is a devices mostly used in chemical industry.

Glass rectors are a type of chemical reactor which is vessels designed to contain chemical reactions. They are frequently used for stirring, mixing, dissolving, extraction and other process in chemical industry and lab studies. This device is in various types, for example: stirred jacketed reactor and custom jacketed reactor, borosilicate jacketed reactor, double layer reactor, just to name a few. Now, there are many manufacturers can provide consumers good quality and reasonable price products.

If you are going to select such device, here are some standard packages for your reference: glass dome with ports of inlet, solid feed, vacuum, full glass vessel with bottom valve, coated stirrer, dry-running mechanical seal, adjustable speed, stirrer drive, mobile stainless steel frame, complete documentation. At the same time, there are some optional standards for you, including: full glass reactors with heating or cooling jacket, glass reflux condenser, stirrers in different shapes, flush mounted drain valve, and capability etc.

In recent years, borosilicate glass reactors are very popular on the market. Borosilicate glass is s type of glass that includes at least 5% boric oxide which makes the glass resistant to extreme temperature and also improves its resistance to chemical corrosion. It is well known that borosilicate glass has very low coefficients of thermal expansion, this enable it resistant to thermal shock. In addition, borosilicate glass has a very low thermal expansion coefficient, about one –third that of ordinary glass; this enable to reduce material stresses caused by temperature gradients so making it more resistant to breaking. Plus, borosilicate glass can provide following benefits, for example: greatly reduces warping, polished reduce warping, printing without the use of a raft, finished models are easily removed from the glass once it has cooled down and no need for sharp tools. Developed by German glassmaker Otto Schott in the late 19th century, borosilicate glass now is very, very welcomed with these advantages.

In addition to mention in above, chemical rector can be made from stainless steel as well. It is well known that stainless steel is very popular in kitchen wares as raw materials. More important, stainless steel also can used in device as raw material with its advantages like stainless has powerful corrosion resistance, fire and heat resistance, hygiene, aesthetic appearance, strength-to-weight, ease of fabrication, impact resistance, and so on. Moreover, stainless steel is often the least expensive material option when the total life cycle costs are considered.

In conclusion, chemical reactor can be made from various materials; however the glass and stainless steel ones are more popular on the market. If you are going to purchase glass reactors, many ways are available – in additional to traditional shops, online services also are good choice in these days.
