Product Description
The fume hood is an important piece of laboratory safety equipment designed to protect personnel and the environment from toxic fumes by drawing air from a contained area. The lining material of a fume hood confers its containment properties and polypropylene offers many advantages in this regard.
Some of these include its impermeability, durability, and resistance to corrosion. For this reason, polypropylene fume hoods are recommended for most applications.
When purchasing a polypropylene fume hood, some factors to consider include the size of the hood-most common sizes run from 3-8 feet, whether your lab has ducting capabilities or if a ductless model is needed, whether a constant volume or variable air volume exhaust system will be used, the material and operating speed of the blower, sash height, and the benchtop material. After purchase, fume hoods require regular maintenance and adherence to safety guidelines; always be sure to follow manufacturer instructions to ensure maximum safety.

Guidelines
1. All operations that may generate hazardous air contaminants must be done inside a laboratory fume hood.
2. Fume hoods do not prevent accidents or chemical splashes. 3. Hood users must be trained in the proper operation and use of laboratory fume hoods.
4. The hood should not be operated unless it is verified that it is working correctly.
5. Safety glasses (goggles), lab coats, and appropriate chemical gloves must be worn when working in, on, or around the fume hood.
6. Do not put your head in the hood, beyond the sash opening.
7. Do not use the hood for storage of equipment, containers, or chemicals which are not going to be used during the day.
8. Equipment and materials placed in the hood must not block hood slots, airfoils, or otherwise interfere with the smooth flow of air into the hood.
9. Never place or use equipment that protrudes beyond the face of the hood (sash opening). This configuration will disrupt air flow of air into the hood and reduce its efficiency.
10. Keep all equipment and materials at least 6 inches behind the plane of the sash (hood face), this will improve containment capture. A stripe (tape) on the hood working surface is a good reminder.
11. Place all bulky equipment away from the sidewalls to allow air flow around the equipment.

Application Cases
Inside the fume hood, there are facilities to let you work. For example, there is almost always some good lighting system in the cabinet. There should be LPG and water connections in the hood, and a drain too in case of spills.
The air suction system is generally placed on top of the box or on the backside (the side towards the wall). This system is generally made up of a strong exhaust fan or air pump and accompanying air duct. The strength of the pump lies in the airflow strength starting from 4 to 8 meters per second to more.
When the exhaust is running, it sucks in volumes of air through the open side (never run the exhaust with the hood completely closed) and vents it through the duct. The duct may throw the fumes right outside the room in the air, or may run it through a filtration system, depending upon the severity of the experiment.
Some advanced laboratory fume hoods have microcontrollers inside them, which you can use to control the exhaust. You may set various suction levels for given setups and later use these quick setups for particular experiments. You can also control the fan/pump power during the experiment too, and the lights as well. The control panel can also warn you about various inconsistencies, like the presence of smoke or fire or too high a shutter
