Chemical Lab Booths India — Resin, Adhesive & Chemical R&D Spray Booth Manufacturer

Autocoat Engineering supplies chemical lab spray booths, resin sampling booths, adhesive R&D lab booths, coating chemistry testing booths and solvent-safe lab spray booths to India’s largest chemical R&D centres. Huntsman (the original Autocoat lab booth reference client), Egyptian British Co (specialty chemicals & auxiliaries), and additional chemical R&D centres across India's major chemical clusters. Explosion-proof, activated carbon, SS 316L chemical-resistant.

🧪 ATEX Zone 1⚗ SS 316L Chemical-Grade🌫 Activated Carbon VOC🔬 Solvent-Safe

India’s chemical industry — 4th-largest globally — needs lab booths that handle broad solvent chemistry safely: nitrocellulose, isocyanates, epoxy, phenolic, silicone. Autocoat’s very first lab spray booth was engineered for Huntsman for resin sampling — a design foundation that has since scaled to additional chemical R&D installations, including Egyptian British Co (specialty chemicals).

Chemical Lab Booth — FAQs

What is a chemical lab booth?

A solvent-safe lab spray booth for chemical R&D - resin sampling, adhesive development, coating chemistry, epoxy formulation, PU trials, specialty chemical spray testing. ATEX Zone 1 explosion-proof, activated carbon VOC filtration, SS 316L chemical-resistant interior, 0.3-0.5 m/s airflow.

How is it different from a fume hood?

Chemical lab booth is purpose-built for spray coating - paint arrestor filtration, higher airflow (0.3-0.5 m/s vs 0.25 m/s in fume hood), larger opening for spray guns, chemical-resistant coved interior. Fume hood is for open-bench chemistry with HEPA unsuitable for atomised paint (clogs quickly), lower airflow, fire risk.

What features are needed for solvent chemical R&D?

ATEX Zone 1 electricals, activated carbon VOC extraction, SS 316L chemical-resistant interior, coved corners, VOC sensor alarm at 15% LEL, IP66 explosion-proof LED lighting, grounded surfaces, Viton/PTFE gasketing, supplied-air respirator hookup, fire suppression (CO2/Novec), sash interlock, eyewash provision.

How much does a chemical lab booth cost in India?

Compact solvent-safe ₹3.5-6 lakh, SS 316L chemical-resistant ₹6-12 lakh, walk-in explosion-proof ₹12-20 lakh, containment hazardous chemistry ₹15-25 lakh. Add ₹40k-1.5 lakh activated carbon, ₹30k-1 lakh VOC monitor, ₹50k-2 lakh supplied-air, ₹40k-1 lakh fire suppression.

Which Indian chemical companies use Autocoat?

Huntsman (original reference client), Egyptian British Co (specialty chemicals), plus additional chemical R&D centres across Ankleshwar, Vapi, Dahej chemical belts.

What chemistries can it handle?

Solvent-based paints (NC, alkyd, acrylic), 2K PU with isocyanate, epoxy, phenolic, silicone, fluoropolymer, waterborne dispersions, UV-curable, powder samples, adhesives (PVA, EVA, hot-melt), sealants (silicone, MS polymer), FRP gel coats, wood coatings. SS 316L + Viton enables broad chemistry compatibility.

Does it need CPCB compliance?

Yes for VOC solvent chemistry. CPCB 2026 requires 98% paint arrestor efficiency, activated carbon VOC extraction, stack monitoring for larger units, Consent to Establish + Consent to Operate documentation. State PCB (MPCB, GPCB) may add local norms.
