PP Ducted Fume Hood LPDF-A12

Labtron’s PP Ducted Fume Hood LPDF-A12 is made entirely from less than or equal to 8 mm thick high-purity polypropylene (PP), known for its exceptional resistance to acids, alkalis, and corrosive vapors. Unlike metal or epoxy-coated hoods, PP does not degrade upon long-term exposure to harsh chemicals. The use of laminated safety glass for the sash adds mechanical strength and shatter resistance, making it safer and more durable for high-risk laboratory operations.

This PP Ducted Fume Hood LPDF-A12 is equipped with an optimized ducted ventilation design that maintains an airflow velocity between 0.3 to 0.6 m/s, an ideal range for capturing and exhausting hazardous chemical vapors. This system ensures negative pressure inside the working chamber, pulling fumes away from the operator’s breathing zone and expelling them through an external duct system, which can be enhanced using an optional PP centrifugal blower.

Our PP Ducted Fume Hood LPDF-A12 prioritizes user safety through multiple mechanisms: a laminated glass sash with smooth counterweight-controlled movement to prevent abrupt drops; chemical-resistant construction to avoid surface degradation; and real-time alerts via an LCD control panel. Additionally, the fume hood is equipped with a waterproof socket system to reduce electrical hazard risks in wet or chemically active environments.

Yes. The sash of PP Ducted Fume Hood LPDF-A12 is constructed from 6 mm laminated safety glass and vertically slides via a precision counterweight system. This allows operators to set the sash at optimal working heights for visibility and safety. By keeping the sash partially closed during operation, users minimize exposure to splashes, vapors, or unexpected reactions, while still maintaining full access to their workspace.
