Walk-in Fumehood

1: What is a Walk-in Fume Hood used for?

Walk-in Fume Hoods are designed to handle large equipment, bulk materials, or tall apparatus that cannot fit into standard bench-top fume hoods. They provide a ventilated, enclosed workspace for processes involving hazardous fumes or vapors.

2: What types of processes require a large room exhaust system in Walk-in Fume Hoods?

Processes that involve open containers of volatile chemicals, large-scale mixing, solvent evaporation or equipment that generates heat and vapors benefit from a robust room exhaust system to control air contaminants effectively.

3: Why is cold-rolled steel used for the exterior of Walk-in Fume Hood?

Cold-rolled steel provides a smooth, strong and corrosion-resistant surface, enhancing the structural integrity of the hood. It also offers excellent durability and is suitable for harsh laboratory environments.

4: What does manually toughened glass mean and why is it used?

Manually toughened glass undergoes a controlled heat treatment process to significantly enhance its strength and safety. In the event of breakage, it fractures into small, rounded pieces instead of sharp shards, minimizing the risk of injury during accidental impact.

5: What are the benefits of having UV protection in the glass panels of a Walk-in Fume Hood?

It helps safeguard users from prolonged exposure to harmful ultraviolet radiation, which can cause skin and eye damage. Additionally, it protects light-sensitive chemicals, biological samples and reagents from degradation or unwanted reactions triggered by UV light. This ensures both user safety and the integrity of sensitive experimental procedures.
