The ducted fume cupboard is designed for use with corrosive acidic compounds such as hydrofluoric, sulfuric and nitric acid. The polypropylene build material prevents surface degradation and rust, increasing product longevity and minimising maintenance costs.

It's suitable for the pharmaceutical, chemical, healthcare, higher education and life sciences industries, providing a balance between versatility and protection. Common applications include:

• Chemical Synthesis: The conduct of experiments involving volatile or hazardous chemicals, such as organic synthesis, inorganic reactions, or the use of corrosive substances like solvents.
• Acid Digestion: The process of preparing solid materials for analysis by dissolving them in strong acid.
• Distillation: The process of separating liquid substances from a compound by boiling and condensing them.
• Toxic Material Handling: The safe handling of toxic or carcinogenic materials, including pesticides and herbicides.
• Material Safety Testing: Testing the properties or safety of material samples, including reactivity and combustibility, which produce toxic fumes.
• Metallurgical Research: The handling of heated metals or materials that emit toxic fumes or particulate matter during processing.
• Analysis & Detection: The process of chemical analysis, including chromatography, spectroscopy and sample preparation.

The ducted fume cupboard is a self-contained fume extraction system designed to prevent exposure to aerosols, vapours, gases and particulates generated during chemical experiments. It uses PVC (or polypropylene) ductwork connected to a roof-mounted ventilation stack to exhaust fumes into the atmosphere. Compatible with both CAV (constant air volume) and VAV (variable air volume) extraction control types, it's a customisable product that can be tailored to the client's requirements.
