What is<br />
HOFFEN Epoxy<br />
HOFFEN Epoxy is a solid cast, monolithic epoxy resin, molded and ovencured<br />
as a solid, uniformly constructed product, offering excellent quality<br />
laboratory work surfaces and complimentary sink units. <strong>The</strong> impressive<br />
heat and chemical resistance of solid cast epoxy resin makes HOFFEN<br />
Epoxy the most popular choice for the rigors of a laboratory environment.<br />
<strong>The</strong> outstanding qualities of epoxy resin provide the safest, most<br />
economical and longlasting work surface available. HOFFEN epoxy is<br />
asbestos free.<br />
HOFFEN Epoxy surfaces resist discoloration, blistering, and cracking<br />
even under the harshest conditions. This extremely high chemical and<br />
heat resistance means DURATOP Cast Epoxy work surface and<br />
components, with proper maintenance procedures, will look like new<br />
after years of hard work in the laboratory or scientific environment.<br />
Solid cast Epoxy work surfaces do not depend on surface coating for<br />
protection or use low cost core material. <strong>The</strong>ir strength and durability are<br />
built right into each sheet or sink. <strong>The</strong> smooth, matte, lowsheen finish<br />
eliminates distracting glare and is easy to maintain.<br />

Fume Hoods<br />
For Todays Industry<br />
Fume hoods, also known as fume cupboards, are enclosed safety devices aerodynamically designed to remove toxic and noxious gases produced when<br />
chemicals are mixed or tested. Within the double layer, steel epoxy powder coated superstructure, there is an inner chamber that promotes the efficient<br />
removal of fumes and reduces personnel risk of exposure to hazardous chemicals. Industry advances created various composite panels that are heat<br />
retardant, chemical resistant and moldable in the form of a white fiber / glass reinforced plastics (FRP / GRP) and are now considered the most commonly<br />
used inner chamber and baffle materials for todays fume hoods, along with Epoxy bases or work surfaces.<br />

HOFFEN FAN<br />
Chemical Resistant Centrifugal fan<br />
Centrifugal Fan<br />
Fume extraction systems, for use within the fume hood or fume cupboard in all<br />
laboratories, is a critical element of safety and maintaining control of corrosive<br />
chemicals and gases. Personnel protection must be maintained at all costs and<br />
that is the reason the latest generation of Polypropylene Centrifugal Blowers /<br />
Fans have been developed for the laboratory market.<br />
Polypropylene (PP) materials lend themselves to molded configurations that allow<br />
for ease of air flow, ease of maintenance, provide excellent ventilating properties<br />
while providing a sturdy, compact design with low level sound and high efficiency<br />
capabilities. All components of the HOFFENFAN blower are made of Molded<br />
Polypropylene (PP) and provide excellent protection against corrosive fumes and<br />
aggressive exhaust vapors. HOFFENFANs may be installed outdoors and are<br />
supplied with a suitable cover to shield against the attack of UV radiation. Fans<br />
are easily maintained due to their two part molded construction.<br />
FIELD OF EMPLOYMENT<br />
HOFFENFANs are installed wherever moist, acidic or chemical fumes are<br />
present in the fume hood and ducting system. <strong>The</strong> HOFFENFAN eliminates the<br />
vapors within the ducting and the fume hood making the laboratory environment<br />
safe and productive for future experiments and testing procedures. Blower / fans<br />
with varying horse power motors are incorporated within the laboratory in such<br />
facilities as K12 schools, university, hospitals, water treatment plants,<br />
pharmaceutical operations, petrochemical facilities and similar applications.<br />
ROTATION<br />
<strong>The</strong> forward curve centrifugal<br />
housing and impellers can be<br />
positioned in eight (8) different<br />
configurations in 45 degree increments,<br />
based on the<br />
available spacing and configuration of<br />
roof or ceiling<br />
mounting locations. Both clockwise and counter clockwise applications may be<br />
utilized.<br />
DEPENDABILITY & MAINTENANCE<br />
All HOFFENFANs are quality controlled and tested for dependability and wear<br />
ability. <strong>The</strong>ir sound and technically advanced construction provides long lasting<br />
dependability and proper extraction of chemical fumes and hazardous vapors.<br />
Owner or maintenance personnel must undertake annual reviews and inspection<br />
checkups as recommended by supplier to assure the continuous operation of the<br />
fans and their components.<br />
WARRANTY<br />
HOOFENFANs are warranted for one (1) year from time of purchase and warrant<br />
that all Fans / Blowers and their Motors are free of production defects in<br />
workmanship and materials used. Proper maintenance must be conducted on all<br />
parts within the warranty period and beyond. Warranty will be voided if damage to<br />
the impeller, housing etc is caused by improper installation or wiring of all<br />
connections.<br />
MATERIALS<br />
HOFFENFAN's are produced of High density (HD) Polypropylene plastics and<br />
the base motor is made of galvanized steel. <strong>The</strong> motor support and mounting<br />
attachment stands are also made of high grade steel. <strong>The</strong> housing is constructed<br />
of high density PP in order to provide maximum resistance to corrosion or attack<br />
by harsh chemicals. Fiber glass or FRP (fiber glass reinforced plastic)<br />
construction is also available upon request. <strong>The</strong> impellers and casing / housing<br />
are to be used in temperatures up to but not exceeding 180 degree F or approx.<br />
80 degree C.<br />

EMERGENCY DRENCH<br />
SHOWER & EYEWASH<br />
In the complicated process of selecting emergency eyewash and drench shower<br />
equipment for schools or private sector applications, with design and ease of function<br />
as the main criterion, specifiers must select, in compliance to regulatory requirements,<br />
the proper materials. Emergency eyewash and shower units are designed to deliver<br />
water quickly and completely, to rinse contaminants, such as fumes or particulates,<br />
from the users eyes, face or body. <strong>The</strong>se products are not substitutes for the safe<br />
handling of hazardous materials be it on a counter top work surface or within a fume<br />
hood, but they are the first line of defense and should be considered carefully.<br />
*All Dimensions<br />
indicated<br />
Are<br />
in<br />
Millimeters(MM)<br />
HOFFEN water systems offer fairly comprehensive and advanced emergency<br />
eyewash and shower units. <strong>The</strong> products are characterized by aesthetic appeal,<br />
space saving styling, and enhanced performance. Floor mounted or table mounted<br />
eyewash or shower units, when placed in ADA compliant or handicapped accessible<br />
areas, require minimum knee clearance and minimum location from obstruction.<br />
HOFFEN eyewash and shower units are made in compliance with American National<br />
Standards Institute (ANSI Z358.1). This requirement in part details that the<br />
emergency equipment should be located in an accessible area nor more than 10<br />
seconds or 30.5 meters from a hazardous location. <strong>The</strong> emergency equipment must<br />
be connected to a potable water supply, having a minimum flow pressure of 3 bar (45<br />
psi) and maximum 5.5 bar (80 psi), with discharge water temperature at a comfortable<br />
range from 60F to 95F (15C to 35C).<br />
