Fume Extractors: A Must for Arts, Crafts, Restoration?

When someone says "fume extractor", most people think of an industrial application such as welding, soldering, chemical handling, or something like that. But when you think about crafts, art restoration or other related applications where lots of paints, solvents, fixatives, and other material that release fumes & gases, it not only makes sense to consider buying a fume extractor-it could mean the difference between health and serious illness.
 
In fact, most solvents, paints, fixatives, thinners, etc., contain high levels of volatile organic compounds or VOC’s and other harmful chemicals. How harmful are they? Well, research shows that repeated exposure, even at low to medium levels, causes various cell mutations, brain dysfunction, even cancer. And the real issue is that when these chemical fumes and vapors do their damage and it goes beyond a certain point, the damage is not reversible, which means that the organ or part of the body affected will deteriorate and die at certain point, long before it would have without the pollutants. That means life has been shortened, and no one wants that—especially when you’re doing something you love to do.
 
Fume collection systems are easy to find, and they are actually quite affordable, all things considered. There are quite a few manufacturers of portable fume and gas extractors on the market. The main thing to watch for is a sufficient amount of activated carbon in the fume collector’s filters or filtration system. Activated carbon is the main ingredient that is able to trap or capture the chemicals, so the more carbon there is, the better fume capturing job it’s going to do, and the longer the filter will last, which saves you money on filter replacements.
 
One particular manufacturer that has especially powerful fume extractors is Electrocorp or Aller Air (same manufacturer). They have a type of carbon called Vocarb that is specially activated to be several times more powerful for capturing fumes, gases, vapors, & VOC’s and they are made to work with industrial or commercial applications & high levels of airborne chemicals. From our experience they produce some of the best gas collection systems that will remove everything from smoke to methane, mercury vapor, hydrogen sulfide, benzene, formaldehyde and much more.
