Enhancing Laboratory Efficiency with a Teflon-lined Pressure Reactor
In modern materials science and chemical research, managing high-pressure and high-temperature reactions safely and accurately is a cornerstone of successful experimentation. The Teflon-lined Pressure Reactor by Equilrxnlab addresses this need by providing a robust and chemically resistant environment for hydrothermal synthesis and other sealed reactions. Designed with both safety and performance in mind, it integrates a PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) liner and 304 stainless steel body, offering enhanced durability, thermal stability, and corrosion resistance for complex lab applications.
This specialized reactor supports researchers who demand precision in controlling reaction conditions while maintaining structural integrity under elevated pressure and temperature. The Teflon-lined Pressure Reactor is tailored for high-efficiency reactions involving aggressive chemical agents, making it a valuable tool in laboratories across academic, industrial, and governmental research institutions.
Robust Construction for Demanding Experiments
The Teflon-lined Pressure Reactor features a dual-layer design that combines the chemical inertness of PTFE with the strength of stainless steel. The liner made from PTFE ensures excellent resistance to acids, bases, and other reactive compounds, protecting the reactor body and ensuring sample purity. Meanwhile, the 304 stainless steel exterior provides structural reinforcement capable of withstanding pressures up to 3 MPa and temperatures reaching 220°C.
This dual-material approach allows researchers to conduct reactions involving aggressive or sensitive chemicals without compromising safety or performance. The manual screw cap with clamping mechanism provides a secure seal, minimizing the risk of leakage and ensuring stable internal conditions throughout the reaction cycle.
Flexible Volume Options for Varied Applications
To accommodate the wide range of experimental scales, the Teflon-lined Pressure Reactor is available in several volume options:
- 5 ml
- 10 ml
- 15 ml
- 20 ml
- 50 ml
- 100 ml
- 150 ml
- 200 ml
- 250 ml
- 300 ml
- 400 ml
- 500 ml
This flexible volume range makes it possible to scale reactions based on specific research requirements, whether for micro-scale material synthesis or pilot-scale testing. The availability of multiple capacities also supports batch experiments and parallel reaction designs, enhancing experimental throughput.

Thermal and Pressure Stability for Hydrothermal Synthesis
The Teflon-lined Pressure Reactor is ideal for hydrothermal synthesis, an essential technique for growing crystals, synthesizing nanomaterials, and investigating reaction mechanisms under controlled aqueous conditions. With a maximum temperature limit of 220°C and pressure resistance of up to 3 MPa, the reactor facilitates reactions that mimic natural geological conditions within a laboratory setting.
By providing an enclosed, thermally stable environment, the reactor ensures that pressure build-up is efficiently managed, and heat distribution is uniform. This stability is critical in forming well-defined crystal structures and maintaining reproducibility across experimental runs.

Chemical Compatibility and Safety
Thanks to the chemically inert PTFE liner, the Teflon-lined Pressure Reactor is compatible with a wide range of solvents and reagents. The non-reactive surface prevents sample contamination and degradation, preserving chemical integrity even under extreme conditions. This characteristic is particularly important for researchers working with novel compounds or sensitive materials.
The manual clamping seal not only enhances security during operation but also simplifies opening and closing the unit, minimizing the risk of accidents. The reactor can be optionally equipped with an 8×200 mm support rod, providing additional setup flexibility depending on the laboratory’s configuration.
Real-world Applications Across Disciplines
The Teflon-lined Pressure Reactor finds applications across various research domains, including:
- Nanomaterials Research: Facilitates the synthesis of quantum dots, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), and other advanced materials.
- Environmental Science: Supports geochemical simulations and contaminant breakdown studies under high-pressure conditions.
- Pharmaceutical Development: Enables the formation of crystalline drug substances and testing of reaction pathways.
- Inorganic Chemistry: Assists in the synthesis of inorganic complexes and mineralization processes.
These applications underscore the reactor’s utility in delivering controlled and reproducible environments for diverse scientific inquiries.
