Overview
The JCT Jacketed Reactor is a temperature‑controlled reaction vessel with a surrounding jacket for circulating heating or cooling fluids. It is engineered for mixing, stirring, heat transfer and controlled chemical reactions across laboratory and industrial scales.

Applicable materials

• Resins: alkyd, epoxy, phenolic, acrylic
• Adhesives: hot‑melt adhesives, grafted adhesives, white glue, silicone, PVC adhesives, PVA
• Others: paints, pigments, PVC, PU, acrylic acid, latexes, emulsions and liquid formulations

Key features and uses

• Temperature control: jacket circulation enables precise heating or cooling of reactor contents via a controlled heat‑transfer fluid.
• Mixing and stirring: configurable agitators ensure homogenization for reactions, crystallization and formulation processes.
• Reaction vessel: suitable for synthesis, polymerization and other processes where thermal control impacts kinetics and product quality.
• Heat transfer management: jacket design allows efficient heat input or removal to manage exothermic or endothermic operations.
• Cooling capability: compatible with cooling water or refrigerated fluids to maintain target temperatures.
• Industrial versatility: applicable in chemical, pharmaceutical, coatings, adhesives, food processing and research environments.

Sizes and configurations
Available in multiple sizes and jacket arrangements to suit laboratory reactors up to large industrial vessels; options include different jacket types, agitation systems and ports for sensors or feed lines.
