NuAire has developed a complete complement of polypropylene products for the laboratory; Vertical Laminar Flow Fume Hoods, Conventional and By-Pass Fume Hoods, 100% Polypropylene Casework, Countertops and Accessories.

Polypropylene is a high corrosion resistant material with high temperature and tensile strength; Possessing excellent chemical resistance to organic solvents and degreasing agents as well as electrolytic attack. The properties of polypropylene are enhanced with anti-oxidizing agents and UV-stabilizers to increase strength, improve thermal characteristics and withstand the exceptional demands of highly corrosive agents. Polypropylene is lightweight, stain resistant, and has a low moisture absorption rate.
