AGC has a unique position as a producer of pharmaceutical and agricultural fine chemicals with a particular expertise in fluorine chemistry. AGC has more than twenty years experience in this field and the range of products has widened considerably as a result. As well as providing various fluorinated compounds such as fluoroanilines, fluorobenzoic acid and fluoroquinolones, AGC also supplies more advanced intermediates and bulk pharmaceuticals.

AGC focuses constantly on the development of innovative chemicals whilst at the same time respecting the natural environment around us.

SUS and Hastelloy glass lined reactors from 0.1 to 6 m³ capacity are configured to produce a variety of products in quantities from 10kg to several tonnes. AGC is able to carry out reactions under high pressure (4.5 MPa) or at low temperatures in Hastelloy reactors of 0.1 and 1m³. Products are discharged into a fluororesin (PTFE) lined centrifuge (diameter 600mm) or a stainless steel filter dryer (1m³) and then into a conical dryer or a vibrating vacuum dryer for final processing. All this finishing equipment is located in a clean room.
