AirClean® Systems PowderSafe™ Type B Enclosures usher in a new era of powder weighing and containment technology. PowderSafe™ Type B enclosures provide a controlled negative pressure HEPA-filtered environment for professionals to work with and weigh powders.

PowderSafe™ Type B is fabricated with polypropylene, which is a chemically resistant, high mass polymer. The innate chemical resistance of polypropylene allows users to easily clean the enclosure without the worry of degradation, while the high mass construction alleviates the threat of vibration and balance disturbance during weighing.

Exclusive to PowderSafe™ enclosures, HepaSafe™ technology allows the operator to safely and easily change both the prefilter and the primary HEPA filter while the enclosure remains under negative pressure. Furthermore, FlowSmooth™ technology provides even, horizontal air distribution throughout the enclosure, preventing turbulence. This laminar horizontal air movement is also key to operator protection from hazardous chemical and compounds being manipulated within the enclosure. PowderSafe™ has been ...
