Fume hoods also known fume cupboards are enclosed safety devices aerodynamically designed to remove toxic and noxious gases produced when chemicals are mixed or tested.  Within the double layer, cold rolled commercial steel (complying with
ASTM A 1008/A 1008/M matte finish) and epoxy powder coated superstructure, there is an inner chamber that promotes the efficient removal of fumes and reduces personnel risk of exposure to hazardous chemicals.  Industry advances created various composite panels that are heat retardant, chemical resistant and moldable in the form of a white fiber / glass reinforced plastics (FRP / GRP) and are now considered the most commonly used inner chamber and baffle materials for today’s fume hoods, along with Epoxy resin bases or work surfaces. Fume hoods should be installed, tested and commissioned by qualified mechanical contractors.
