Handling highly volatile reagents, concentrated strong acids, and alkalis in cleanroom or laboratory environments requires advanced containment systems.
Traditional steel structures degrade rapidly under severe chemical stress, risking operator safety and structural failure.
The FH1000 PL fume hood technology provides a reliable, engineered alternative designed explicitly for extreme corrosive resistance.
The FH1000 PL system delivers full isolation and active neutralization of hazardous fumes through three primary engineering mechanics.
By generating a continuous face velocity across the operational sash, the unit creates an airtight aerodynamic envelope.
This continuous draft ensures that contaminated fumes are safely contained inside the work table area and routed exclusively through the exhaust path.
The entire chassis is manufactured using 8mm thick porcelain white polypropylene (PP) plates that are integrally welded.
This material is chemically inert and fully resistant to pitting, rusting, or severe structural degradation caused by harsh materials like perchloric acid, nitric acid, or hydrochloric acid.
Behind the internal deflector, the system integrates an automated alkaline water circulation spray mechanism.
As aggressive acid vapors pass through the deflector, the wet spray neutralizes the acidic components within the exhaust column before they can accumulate, dramatically dropping explosive and thermal hazards.
To ensure precise workflow planning and compatibility with cleanroom equipment layouts, the FH1000 PL follows standardized spatial and mechanical footprints.

Beyond its base material composition, the FH1000 PL includes specialized components that secure continuous laboratory uptime and reliable containment.
The structural profile of the FH1000 PL makes it essential for specific high-risk workflows.
The FH1000 PL fume hood technology provides a reliable solution for laboratories handling highly aggressive acids and chemical reagents.
By combining a heavy-duty, 8mm thick polypropylene body with an active wet neutralization spray system and precise negative pressure control, this system successfully prevents hazardous vapor leaks.
Investing in this dedicated setup ensures long-term equipment durability and keeps laboratory operators fully protected from severe chemical exposure.
The entire chassis is constructed from 8mm thick porcelain white polypropylene (PP). Unlike standard steel hoods, this material is completely inert and will not rust, pit, or degrade when exposed to concentrated acids or alkalis.
The system features an automated water circulation spray mechanism behind the internal deflector. This spray actively neutralizes aggressive acid vapors inside the exhaust column before they can accumulate or escape into the workspace.
The FH1000 PL maintains a safe inward face velocity range of 0.3 m/s to 0.8 m/s. This continuous negative pressure ensures that all toxic fumes are pulled away from the operator and routed directly into the exhaust duct.
Yes. Its acid-proof polypropylene construction, durable chemical-resistant worktop, and integrated PP centrifugal blower make it ideal for high-risk applications like acid digestion, wet etching, and liquid processing.
