Applications
Pharmaceutical Synthesis
Glass reactors are essential tools in pharmaceutical R&D; and production. Our SFS series jacketed reactors provide precise temperature control for API synthesis, crystallization studies, formulation development, and process optimization. The full visibility through borosilicate glass allows researchers to monitor reaction progress, color changes, and crystallization in real time.
- API (Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient) synthesis and purification
- Crystallization process development and scale-up
- Controlled-temperature reactions for sensitive compounds
- Solvent recovery and distillation under vacuum
- Formulation mixing and homogenization
Chemical Research & Engineering
Chemical laboratories rely on our glass reactors for a wide range of applications including organic synthesis, polymer chemistry, catalysis studies, and material science. The PTFE + Viton sealing system ensures compatibility with a broad spectrum of solvents and reagents, while the customizable port configuration accommodates complex experimental setups.
- Organic synthesis and multi-step reaction sequences
- Polymer chemistry and polymerization reactions
- Catalysis studies and catalyst screening
- Corrosion testing and material compatibility studies
- Distillation, reflux, and extraction processes
Food & Beverage R&D
Food science laboratories use our glass reactors for flavor extraction, ingredient testing, emulsion development, and small-batch production trials. Borosilicate glass is non-reactive with food-grade materials and allows complete visibility of processes. Easy cleaning and sterilization make glass reactors ideal for food-grade applications.
- Essential oil and flavor compound extraction
- Emulsion and suspension development
- Small-batch product development and scale-up testing
- Ingredient compatibility and stability studies
- Vacuum concentration and solvent removal

Procurement and RFQ Support
For procurement teams and buyers preparing an RFQ, UnionClay can review the product family, target capacity, temperature or vacuum range, working medium, voltage, connector needs, matching equipment and customization notes before quotation.
- Share the application, model range and process goal so the inquiry is not based on a product name alone.
- Confirm matching equipment such as reactors, chillers, heating and cooling circulators, vacuum pumps, filtration units or distillation systems when the process requires a connected workflow.
- Contact UnionClay for model selection and quotation support or email info@unionclay.com.
