VAC NEXUS-1

The VAC (Vacuum Atmospheres Company) NEXUS-1 glove box provides a sealed, inert environment for handling oxygen- and moisture-sensitive materials. It enables safe transfer, mixing, and preparation of reactive powders such as magnesium and titanium alloys.

  • Atmosphere Argon or nitrogen
  • O₂ / H₂O Levels < 1 ppm typical, maintained by a regenerable gas purification system
  • Materials Reactive and air-sensitive powders (e.g., Mg, Ti alloys)
  • Glove Ports 2 (single-sided)

Unique Capabilities

  • Inert atmosphere operationA sealed argon or nitrogen environment isolates materials from ambient air during handling.
  • Ultra-low oxygen and moistureKeeps oxygen and moisture at trace levels, preventing oxidation and moisture pickup in sensitive powders.
  • Safe handling of reactive materialsEnables transfer, mixing, and preparation of reactive powders without air exposure, protecting both the material and the operator.
