SPILLSTOPPER
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about SPILLSTOPPER from 3G Electric.
What sizes are available for SPILLSTOPPER fume hood work surfaces?
SPILLSTOPPER work surfaces are available in several standard sizes, including 36 inches wide by 36 inches long, 36 inches wide by 48 inches long, and 30 inches wide by 36 inches long. All have a thickness of 1-1/4 inches. The specific size required depends on the interior dimensions of the fume hood. For example, SKU 52RY61 is 36 by 36 inches, SKU 52RY62 is 36 by 48 inches, and SKU 52RY60 is 30 by 36 inches. These sizes are designed to fit specific Protector hood models. Verify the hood model and interior dimensions before ordering.
Are SPILLSTOPPER work surfaces compatible with all fume hoods?
No, SPILLSTOPPER work surfaces are designed for specific fume hood models. The product descriptions indicate compatibility with Protector Airo and Protector XL laboratory hoods. For instance, SKU 52RY62 and 52RY61 are for Protector Airo hoods, while SKU 52RY60 is for Protector XL hoods. The dished and contoured design conforms to the interior liner of these specific hoods. Using a work surface in a non-compatible hood may result in poor fit, airflow disruption, or inadequate spill containment. Always confirm the hood model and part number before purchase.
What is the purpose of the large radius on some SPILLSTOPPER work surfaces?
The large radius on certain SPILLSTOPPER work surfaces, such as SKU 52RY62, is designed to aerodynamically direct airflow into the fume hood. This feature reduces turbulence at the front edge of the work surface, allowing air to flow smoothly into the hood and improving containment. It is a functional design element that supports the hood's air management. The radius is incorporated into the epoxy surface during manufacturing. This feature is specified for models where airflow characteristics are critical. It does not affect the chemical resistance or structural properties of the epoxy.
What material are SPILLSTOPPER work surfaces made of?
SPILLSTOPPER work surfaces are made of solid epoxy resin. Epoxy is chosen for its corrosion resistance and durability in laboratory environments. It can withstand exposure to a range of chemicals and is resistant to staining and moisture absorption. The material is homogeneous, meaning it does not have a coating that can chip or peel. The 1-1/4 inch thickness provides a rigid work surface. Epoxy is also non-porous, which facilitates cleaning and helps prevent contamination. These properties make it suitable for fume hood applications where chemical spills and vapors are common.
