Novalab fume cupboards are designed to allow maximum flexibility, safety and durability.
 
The outer steel skin cannot burn and is not subject to damage by hot objects. In the unlikely event of damage, the inner chamber integrity is not affected and so will not affect the function of the fume cupboard. All outer panels are replaceable and a wide range of powder coat colours can add to the overall laboratory environment.

The inner chamber is manufactured from 6 mm thick phenolic resin. Fire retardant, resistant to solvents, acids and alkalies and capable of withstanding temperatures up to 180 c, phenolic resin offers a far more robust, more versatile and mechanically stable solution.
 
Standard fume cupboard bases are manufactured from Novalab ResistopTM , our high performance laboratory work top. Now in use in over 150 laboratory installations in New Zealand, it is chemical resistant and fire retardant
