Chemical Fume Hoods – Using Technology to Keep Workers Safe

Chemical Fume Hoods are necessary for businesses that use caustic chemicals or cleaners that are hazardous for those working around them. Modutek Corporation, which has been in business since 1980, manufactures some of the best Chemical Fume Hoods available today.

Properly designed and installed Chemical Fume Hoods are necessary to reduce a lab worker’s exposure to hazardous fumes, vapors, gases and dust created during lab tests. They are also used for Research and Development (R&D) analysis and in University laboratories. A Chemical Fume Hood works by confining any hazardous airborne material as well as diluting it with large amounts of air. This is drawn through an exhaust and filter system which is then expelled through the roof of a building or, if a company chooses a ductless system, the air is filtered and re-circulated.

Chemical Fume Hoods designed and manufactured by Modutek are used in a variety of applications in a number of different industries. They can remove and filter smells, fumes, gases, airborne chemicals, dust and other related airborne contaminants. Modutek’s Chemical Fume Hoods provide quick and low-cost hazardous chemical exhausting to keep your work area safe for your employees.
