Chemical cabinet for the safe storage of hazardous substances

Appropriate cabinets must be used for the storage of dangerous substances and chemicals in order to prevent damage. A chemical cabinet, or environmental cabinet, is a safe and reliable way to store a variety of toxic substances and non-flammable chemicals such as acids, alkalis and substances hazardous to water.

Achemical cabinet is a sturdy, fully welded sheet metal cabinet designed to store environmentally harmful, non-flammable liquids. At Rastec you will find a range of quality chemical cabinets with ventilation and drainage basins. The cabinets have valves for ventilation and can be connected to ventilation and exhaust systems to provide negative pressure inside the cabinet. The ventilation system directs harmful gases directly into the ventilation duct, preventing them from entering the interior. The shelves of the chemical cabinets have high, upward-bent edges that act as drainage basins in the event of chemical spills. The edges prevent liquid spillage, for example from a spilled package, from going where it shouldn't. The shelves are removable and have a chemical-resistant lacquer finish.

A safe chemical cabinet suitable for a variety of applications

Today, chemicals are used in a wide range of companies and laboratories. They are even used in units and industries that are not specifically involved in chemical processes. These include schools, universities, warehouses, production facilities, verandas and maintenance facilities.

When storing chemicals, it is important to know what type of environment is safe for storing these substances. The location where environmentally harmful liquids are stored and disposed of must be carefully and appropriately designed. Always check current regulations for the storage of chemicals and store hazardous substances in accordance with the law and regulations. Proper storage and handling of hazardous substances ensures a safe working environment.

Important additional information on chemical cabinets

When storing dangerous products, secondary containment must also be used. Substances that emit pollutants into the air that are harmful to health must be stored in a ventilated cabinet space.

When storing chemicals, it is important to take into account their properties, such as oxidability, toxicity and reactivity. Chemicals have different hazard characteristics and can react strongly with each other. The doors of chemical storage cabinets should be labelled to indicate their hazardous properties. Incompatible substances should be stored separately so as not to present a hazard. For example, flammable liquids and gases should be stored in a separate area from corrosive and oxidising chemicals. Storage areas should also be designed to prevent the spread of a potential accident.

When choosing an environmental cabinet, it is important to know how much hazardous substances to store, what type of substances they are and what the storage limit is in the work area. In addition to the current level of use, it is important to consider how storage needs will change in the near future. Shelves must be positioned in the space with sufficient space between them to allow air to circulate between the shelves.

It is important to note that standard chemical cabinets in this category are not suitable for storing flammable or volatile substances. Flammable and explosive products should be stored in a fire-safe cabinet. You can find fire-safe chemical cabinets here. We also have a range of fire-resistant cabinets for shop use, which are suitable for storing flammable products.
