Acrylic glove boxes come with certain advantages over standard stainless steel designs. They are cheap, and should ideally give a clear view of the working space, which is of utmost importance, when it comes to manipulation and observation. Not only are these glove boxes affordable, their lightweight design makes them both easy to install and an ideal choice for laboratories that are space and/or budget constrained. Acrylic is lower in corrosion resistant than some other plastics, but lower in chemical-resistant than alcohols and chemical cleaners. Furthermore, the wide shape of acrylic gloveboxes allows for customization to specific laboratory needs, as well as compatibility with a number of accessories for further functionality, such as humidity and oxygen controllers.
