The Esco Frontier Perchloric Fume Hood has been designed for utilization when handling hot perchloric acid, hot nitric acid or for routine use of perchloric acid. The internal surfaces and work surface of the specialized fume hood are constructed from stainless steel. Dispersed throughout the hood is a wash-down system of water spray nozzles. The stainless steel surfaces enable easier and more efficient cleanability while the water wash-down removes any explosive compounds which may have been formed on the internal surfaces. The Esco Frontier Perchloric Fume Hood has smooth coved corners and a 5 degree sloped front. It benefits from superior containment at 0.3 m/s.
