Gloveboxes for Research in Fine Chemistry and Petrochemistry
The glove box for fine chemical and petrochemical research has become an essential tool for laboratories that handle sensitive or hazardous substances. With increasing demands for purity, safety and precision, it is essential to work in a controlled atmosphere. For several decades, Jacomex has been supporting research centres and manufacturers in their most ambitious projects, thanks to its reliable, tailor-made solutions.
Why use a glove box for fine chemical and petrochemical research?
Working in an inert atmosphere to preserve the quality of substances
In the fine chemicals and petrochemicals sectors, many substances are highly reactive to oxygen, moisture or contaminants present in the ambient air. Using a glove box for fine chemicals and petrochemicals research maintains an inert atmosphere (argon, nitrogen), ensuring the chemical stability of the compounds being handled.
Safe handling of hazardous substances
Some molecules or catalysts used in fine chemicals can be toxic, flammable or unstable. Thanks to total containment, glove boxes protect not only samples but also operators, drastically reducing the risk of accidental exposure and environmental contamination.
Main applications of glove boxes in fine chemical and petrochemical research
Synthesis and study of new compounds
Fine chemistry relies on the creation of complex and often unstable molecules. To ensure successful synthesis and reproducible results, a glove box for fine chemical and petrochemical research provides a perfectly controlled environment, where oxygen and humidity levels can be reduced to a few ppm.
Research and development in petrochemistry
In petrochemistry, research on catalysts, polymers, or high-pressure reactions requires absolute protection from the ambient air. Jacomex glove boxes allow complex tests to be carried out in safe conditions, promoting innovation and the development of new industrial processes.
Jacomex and the PURE range: solutions tailored to researchers’ needs
To meet the specific needs of fine chemicals and petrochemicals, Jacomex offers the PURE range, comprising three perfectly suited models:
