Custom Laboratory Chemical Fume Hood (Acid Resistant)

The PolymerTest Custom Chemical Fume Hood is a safety-critical engineering solution designed to protect laboratory personnel from toxic vapors. Unlike standard units, we manufacture these hoods to your exact dimensional specifications and material requirements (Stainless Steel 316, HPL, or Ceramic). Equipped with a powerful centrifugal fan and safety sash, it ensures compliance with ASHRAE 110 and EN 14175 standards.

Description

Design and Manufacturing of Chemical Fume Hoods (Custom & Specialized)

In polymer and petrochemical quality control laboratories, personnel respiratory safety is the number one priority. Many tests, including polymer dissolution or working with strong acids, generate toxic fumes. The Chemical Fume Hood manufactured by Polymer Test is not just a ready-made product; it is an engineered solution built exactly according to your specific needs and workspace.

Custom Manufacturing Capabilities

As a manufacturer, we have no limitations on dimensions and can design the hood to fit perfectly onto your benches or empty laboratory spaces:

  • Variable Dimensions: Custom manufacturing available in various lengths (from small 80 cm models to wide 2-meter models and above).
  • Selectable Body Material: Capability to choose internal materials (Stainless Steel 316, HPL sheets, or Acid-Resistant Ceramic) based on the type of chemicals you handle.
  • Accessories: Option to add gas valves, acid-resistant sinks, or electrical outlets inside the cabinet as per order.

Technical Features and Ventilation System

  • Safety Sash: Tempered safety glass with smooth vertical movement and counter-balance mechanism.
  • Powerful Ventilation: Equipped with a Centrifugal Fan with a low-noise motor capable of fully extracting heavy vapors.

Essential Application in Polymer Labs

Using a chemical fume hood is mandatory for operating certain equipment. For instance, toxic gases are emitted during operation of the Melt Flow Index (MFI) Tester. Our custom hood designs allow you to easily house bulky testing machines inside the safe containment area.

Safety Standards

The aerodynamic design of these hoods is executed based on global safety requirements:

  • Standard ASHRAE 110 (Method of Testing Performance of Laboratory Fume Hoods).
  • Standard EN 14175(Fume Cupboards – Safety and Performance Requirements).
