Hydrothermal Autoclave
A Hydrothermal Autoclave is a specialized laboratory device, which is used for conducting hydrothermal synthesis at high temperatures and pressures. It plays a crucial role in the preparation of advanced materials such as nanomaterials, metal oxides, and zeolites, by enabling controlled chemical reactions inside a sealed, high-pressure environment.
It is made with high-grade stainless steel with a Teflon/PTFE-lined chamber, hydrothermal autoclaves are an excellent resistance to corrosive chemicals and extreme thermal conditions. They can typically operate in the temperature range of 100°C to 250°C, with pressure ratings reaching up to 3 MPa (30 bar) or more.
These autoclaves are widely used in research laboratories, chemical engineering, materials science, and nanotechnology for synthesizing crystals and conducting chemical growth experiments.
We offer advanced and reliable Hydrothermal Autoclaves, which meet exact scientific and industrial needs, ensuring safe operation, precision, and repeatability in every experiment.

Working Principle of Hydrothermal Autoclave
A Hydrothermal Autoclave is a high-pressure, high-temperature reactor used to carry out chemical reactions under hydrothermal conditions — that is, in the presence of water or solvent at elevated temperatures and pressures. It is commonly used for synthesizing nanoparticles, crystal growth, and material research.
