Why Stainless Steel Over Powder-Coated Steel
Powder-coated steel fume hoods rely on a surface coating to resist corrosion and staining. Over time, repeated cleaning, chemical exposure, and general wear can chip or degrade this coating, exposing the underlying steel to rust and contamination risk. The JH-FC006 avoids this failure point entirely by using solid 304 or 316 stainless steel throughout the cabinet construction, rather than a coated finish.
This distinction matters most in facilities that clean and disinfect frequently as part of standard operating procedure. Stainless steel does not flake, chip, or corrode under normal washdown conditions, supporting a longer service life and reducing the risk of surface contamination in sanitary-critical work. For labs weighing long-term operating costs against upfront price, this durability translates into fewer replacements and more consistent compliance with hygiene audits.
Key Features
- 304/316 Stainless Steel Cabinet: Bent, welded, polished, and assembled from 1.0-1.2mm stainless steel plate for corrosion resistance and long-term durability under frequent cleaning.
- Modular Interior Liner: 5mm light gray compact panel liner resists moisture and chemical exposure, with a modular design that allows disassembly for thorough cleaning. An optional 304/316 stainless steel liner is also available.
- Tempered Glass Sash: 5mm tempered glass viewing window paired with a 304 stainless steel handle for durability and clear visibility of work in progress.
- Standard Safety Fittings: Remote water and gas fittings with built-in safety functions, plus four sets of international multi-functional waterproof sockets for equipment power needs.
- LCD Controller: English-language LCD controller manages lighting and fan operation. A high-spec French controller is available as an optional upgrade.
- Configurable Sizing: Available in widths of 900mm, 1200mm, 1500mm, and 1800mm, with a standard depth of 850mm and height of 2350mm to fit varying lab layouts.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the JH-FC006 compare to a polypropylene fume hood for our application?
Polypropylene hoods are generally selected for resistance to aggressive acids and alkalis. The JH-FC006 is built for facilities where hygiene, surface cleanability, and long-term durability under repeated washdowns are the primary concerns, such as pharmaceutical, medical, and food testing labs. If your work involves high-intensity acid/alkali exposure, a PP model may be more appropriate; if sanitary compliance and corrosion resistance are the priority, stainless steel is typically the better fit.
What is the difference between the 304 and 316 stainless steel options?
Both grades offer strong corrosion resistance suited to sanitary environments. 316 stainless steel contains molybdenum, which provides additional resistance to chloride exposure and certain corrosive agents, making it a common choice for facilities with more demanding sanitation or chemical exposure requirements. 304 stainless steel is a cost-effective option for standard hygienic applications.
Can the interior liner be customized?
Yes. The standard configuration uses a 5mm light gray compact panel liner, which is moisture- and chemical-resistant and designed for modular disassembly during cleaning. Labs requiring an all-metal interior can opt for a 304 or 316 stainless steel liner instead.
Is the JH-FC006 suitable for cleanroom environments?
The stainless steel construction and modular, easy-to-clean interior support the surface hygiene standards typical of cleanroom-adjacent facilities. Specific suitability will depend on your facility’s classification and airflow requirements, which our team can help assess based on your project specifications.
Does the JH-FC006 come with documentation to support procurement or compliance reviews?
Yes. As a factory-based manufacturer, Glorylab provides full traceability documentation for the production process to support procurement review, compliance verification, and project handover requirements.
What sizing options are available if our lab space has specific constraints?
The JH-FC006 is available in standard widths of 900mm, 1200mm, 1500mm, and 1800mm, with a fixed depth of 850mm and height of 2350mm. Contact our team to discuss custom sizing if your lab layout requires dimensions outside this standard range.
