We supply many manufacturers of high-quality organic compounds with UV systems for the realisation of photochemical steps in organic synthesis. In this process, e.g. vitamins, hormones, fragrances and other valuable components are produced by synthesis with light (preparative photochemistry).

Photochlorination / Sulfochlorination / Photonitrosation / Photoaddition / Photobromination / Photopolymerisation / Photodimerisation / Ring-chain valence isomerisation
Photochemical synthesis has the advantage that often complex synthesis steps can be shortened, resulting in high yields and high purity. In many preparative photo-reactions, the high purity comes from the moderate reaction conditions, as thermal side reactions are suppressed. Photochemistry offers the possibility to perform many reactions at very low media temperatures.
The PRST uv system which is composed of assemblies and therefore allows almost unlimited choice of materials and material combinations. This includes in particular the reactor shell (quartz glass or stainless steels in various qualities) as well as the sealing materials (a wide variety of polymers). It is even possible to combine a glass body with foreheads made of stainless steel. If necessary, each of the seals can be pressurised with a high pressure sealing medium. This makes food applications as well as applications in the pharmaceutical industry and medical technology possible.
