The Fume Extractor 426 offers a convenient and space saving method of removing noxious fumes from the work environment. Designed for use on the factory floor, in R&D or by the hobbyist, this product provides an economical and efficient method to improve the work place by reducing the possibility of headaches, nausea and eye irritations often associated with exposure to solder fumes.

• High content ratios of resin generate phenol (C₆H₅OH) and the activators can emit hydrogen chloride (HCL) or other compounds. The US Government has occupational hazard standards controlling the permissible amounts of such compounds in the work area and the 426DLX when used properly, help meet those standards.
  
• Flux is an integral part of the soldering process to prepare the work surface. Composed of rosin-resin and mixed with an activator (halogen organic agent) that, as the temperature increases, generate noxious components such as salicylic acid and pinene commonly seen as smoke rising from the work area.

The 426 is developed with a high performance fan and an easy to replace activated carbon filter. The filter is made by joining specific foam with refined activated carbon. The dust collection efficiency of the filter is 30% while the carbon filter can absorb up to 30% of its carbon weight in noxious components.

Activated-Carbon Filter: Size 130 x 130 x 10 mm (5.1 x 5.1 x 0.4 in.) Amount of Activated-Carbon filter 12g (0.03 lb.) Max. Absorbing weight of noxious components per filter 4 g (0.01 lb.)
