Panel material
The one spec that decides how long the box lasts
1/4" PolycarbonateRecommended
CNC Router · Impact rated
Tolerates repeated isopropyl. The right call for any workflow that sprays 70% IPA on every surface.
1/4" Clear Acrylic
Laser Cut · Optical clarity
Clearer and cheaper to cut. Crazes under repeated alcohol — read the note below before choosing it.
1/4" PVC
CNC Router · Opaque
Chemically tough and the cheapest panel, but you lose visibility. Usually a deck or back panel, not a whole box.
UV-Blocking Acrylic
Laser Cut · UV-C installs
For boxes running a UV-C lamp. It contains the UV, but absorbed energy still ages the panel over time.
Why this matters more than the price difference. Your workflow is 70% isopropyl on every surface, several times a session. Stressed acrylic crazes under IPA — fine hairline cracks that start at bolt holes and bracket joints, which is exactly where a panel-and-bracket design puts stress. Plenty of vendors sell acrylic gloveboxes anyway and let you find out. We oversize and chamfer every fastener hole and use compression gaskets rather than tight bolts, which helps — but it does not make acrylic alcohol-proof. If you spray, buy polycarbonate.

This is a dead air box, not a biosafety cabinet. A BSC needs NSF/ANSI 49 certification, HEPA filtration and validated airflow. We carry none of those and make no sterility or contamination-rate claims. Work that needs containment rather than exclusion needs a certified BSC — we will say so rather than sell you this.
