ACID DIGESTION FUME HOOD
ACID DIGESTION FUME HOOD
Our Acid Digestion Fume Hood is a specialized safety solution designed to handle highly concentrated acids and high-temperature operations with ease and efficiency. Engineered for demanding laboratory environments, this fume hood ensures maximum protection for both users and the surrounding area by containing hazardous fumes and vapors during critical acid digestion processes.
This specialized fume hood is built with stainless steel internal surfaces (including the work surface) and a wash-down system of water spray nozzles dispersed throughout the hood. When heated, perchloric acid vaporizes and condenses on hood, duct and fan components. In addition to being highly corrosive, condensed vapors can react with hood gaskets, greases and other collected materials to form explosive perchloric salts and esters. Therefore stainless steel surfaces enhance cleanability and a water wash-down removes any explosive compounds that might have formed on the internal surfaces.
