AirClean Systems, North America’s leading manufacturer of ductless fume hoods and chemical workstations, has published independently-verified results of SEFA 9-2010 “Filter Efficiency and Adsorption Capacity” testing on Silconazyne bonded carbon filtration. Silconazyne is a next-generation enhanced filtration media available exclusively in the Independence™ ductless fume hood. Testing was performed in accordance with subsection 4.3.1 of SEFA 9-2010, and verified by Exposure Control Technologies, a national leader in fume hood testing and laboratory safety consulting.
Chemicals representing four key chemical families – inorganic acids, amines, alcohols and hydrocarbons – are used in the SEFA 9 test protocol. These are hydrochloric acid, diethylamine, isopropyl alcohol, and toluene. A separate as-manufactured Silconazyne filter was challenged with each chemical until filter breakthrough reached the chemical’s TLV. SEFA 9 is meant to provide ductless fume hood users with an objective baseline for comparing available filtration technologies.
