Features & Benefits

Opti-Zone ™

*

Protector XL Hoods feature chemical and heat resistant, fiberglass-reinforced composit panel liners with Opti-Zone baffles. Opti-Zone decreases the typical face velocity variations found with other baffles and provides horizontal flow. It’s unique slot pattern and sizes increase velocities in the middle and at the work surface where it is needed while slowing velocities at the corners. This uniformity lowers the required average face velocity necessary for containment. Tapered entry slots decrease resistance to air entering the baffle and promote horizontal air streams that enhance containment. Protector Premier Hoods have lightweight interior liners molded of specially formulated fiberglass reinforced polyester. It is durable, easy to clean, light reflective and fire resistant. Labconco fiberglass withstands exposure to a wide range of laboratory acids, solvents and alkalies. It will not absorb spills and resists staining and discoloration. Its smooth one-piece surface with radiused corners has no cracks or crevices for contaminants to collect. Minimal maintenance is required.
