Description
The PPL (Polyperfluoroethylene Lined) inner vessel is a critical component used in hydrothermal synthesis, a method commonly applied for the crystallization of materials under high pressure and temperature. Designed to be placed inside stainless steel autoclave reactors, this insert provides a chemically inert, thermally stable, and non-reactive environment for various lab-scale reactions.
Thanks to its robust resistance to strong acids, alkalis, and high-temperature solvents, it allows researchers to safely conduct experiments involving corrosive substances without contaminating the reactor body or affecting reaction integrity.
Key Features
High Chemical Resistance: PPL is known for its superior resistance to aggressive chemicals such as HF, HCl, HNO₃, and strong bases.
Thermal Stability: Operates reliably under temperatures typically ranging from 200°C to 260°C, depending on pressure conditions.
Inert Surface: Ensures no reaction occurs between the vessel wall and the reagents, preserving product purity.
Reusability: Can be cleaned and reused for multiple synthesis cycles.

Why Choose a PPL Inner Vessel?
PPL chambers provide a safe, efficient, and contamination-free environment for pressure-based reactions. They are essential when metal contamination from steel vessels could compromise experimental results. Especially in hydrothermal and solvothermal processes, PPL inserts offer unmatched stability and performance.
