Safety cabinets

Safety cabinets for the storage of hazardous substances

Safety cabinets are the foundation of equipment for any modern laboratory and warehouse where hazardous chemicals are stored. Their robust steel housing not only resists corrosion effectively, but also withstands accidental impacts, guaranteeing reliability for years. This specialized furniture really protects your staff, isolating toxic fumes and preventing dangerous leaks.

Their advantages include:

• durable, resistant to mechanical damage,
• effective isolation of harmful volatile substances,
• integrated smoke detectors, monitoring hazards,
• efficient mechanical ventilation systems,
• automatic door closing mechanisms,
• Internal spill tray to protect against spills.

The use of advanced technologies makes reagent management simpler and more predictable. By choosing solutions that meet stringent health and safety standards, you invest in the highest standard of protection and create a professional and safe working environment.

Asecos fireproof and undercounter cabinets for laboratories

In a modern laboratory, Asecos fireproof cabinets are the foundation of safety, offering certified fire protection. Their double-walled steel construction with advanced thermal insulation makes the temperature inside rise slowly, which effectively protects valuable and hazardous substances.

In the case of limited space, undercounter models, mounted directly under  the fume hoods, are ideal. This solution optimizes space and improves ergonomics, allowing you to always keep the necessary reagents within reach.

Asecos systems are distinguished by the following features:

• certified fire resistance for 30, 60 or 90 minutes,
• sturdy housing - made of high-quality steel,
• modern thermal insulation protecting the contents,
• automatic door lock systems,
• special heat-relaxing, temperature-activated gaskets,
• Availability of variants with folding or folding doors.

Acid and alkali cabinets with resistant anti-corrosion design

Specialized acid and alkali storage cabinets are the foundation for team safety in any laboratory. Their market cost usually oscillates within several thousand zlotys, which is an investment in long-term health and property protection. The construction of the furniture is based on the highest quality materials that effectively resist the destructive effects of aggressive chemicals.

Their advantages include:

• the use of high-quality stainless steel,
• use of resistant HDPE polyethylene,
• additional reinforcement with durable epoxy paint,
• possibility of segregation of reagents - thanks to adjustable shelves,
• tight, isolating toxic compounds,
• effective elimination of the risk of inhalation of harmful fumes.

Thanks to its robust workmanship, this equipment is perfectly able to cope with harsh industrial conditions. It offers reliable protection and exceptional durability for many years, providing a safe working environment and preventing dangerous chemical reactions.

Sump trays and recirculation ventilation modules

Safe storage of hazardous substances requires the implementation of advanced solutions to protect against spills. A key role is  played by the sump trays mounted in the bottom of the cabinets , which are selected in terms of the chemical specificity of the stored materials.

Comprehensive protective equipment includes:

• pull-out bathtubs that facilitate daily operation,
• collection tanks with a large retention capacity,
• durable polypropylene litter boxes - for working with aggressive acids,
• perforated inserts stabilizing containers above the bottom,
• modern recirculation modules purifying the air,
• volatile volatile compound capture integrated filtration systems.

Effective fume extraction is essential to maintain the highest safety standards. Thanks to recirculation technology, volatile substances are effectively removed without the need to connect the cabinet to the external ventilation of the building. This solution not only protects the health of the staff, but also effectively minimizes the risk of explosion inside the cabinet, providing full control over the working environment.

Self-closing doors and heat shrink gaskets

Passive fire protection systems are the foundation for the protection of life and property in any professional work environment. Modern security cabinets are equipped with an automatic door closing mechanism, which is activated when the temperature rises rapidly. By immediately cutting off the oxygen supply, the fire is nipped in the bud and the process is fully autonomous.

A key element of the structure are swelling seals, which, when exposed to heat, instantly increase in volume, creating a barrier to flames and smoke. This solution effectively protects chemicals from ignition.

Professional safety standards build the following elements:

• heat-reactive, automatic door closing,
• swelling seals insulating the interior,
• integrated fire traps,
• sturdy locks to protect against access by third parties,
• a system of precise leveling of the structure,
• Reflective markings to facilitate location in smoke.

These thoughtful technical details define modern health and safety standards, ensuring the highest level of protection in laboratories and industrial plants.

Battery and gas cylinder cabinets – explosion protection

Professional gas and battery cabinets provide an effective firewall, minimizing the risk of explosions inside buildings. Models for gas cylinders are the foundation of plant safety. Battery charging versions offer intelligent monitoring of energy processes, which prevents violent cell reactions and protects the infrastructure.

The design of these devices uses advanced security systems, such as:

• robust, steel casing isolating reactive substances,
• efficient mechanical ventilation systems,
• gas sensors to control the concentration of vapors,
• integrated grounding, protecting against spark jumping,
• constant heat dissipation to stabilize indoor conditions.

Certified solutions are the basis of OHS audits. The EN 14470-1 standard applies to flammable liquids, and EN 14470-2 regulates the storage of cylinders. Compliance with the TRGS 510 directives guarantees the highest standard of protection for employees in an industrial environment.

EN 14470-1, EN 14470-2 and TRGS 510 compliance

Cabinets that meet the EN 14470-1 and EN 14470-2 standards are the foundation of fire protection in every workplace. By choosing a model with a resistance class of 30, 60 or 90 minutes, you gain invaluable time to safely evacuate your team in the event of an emergency. Proper storage of substances is facilitated by the TRGS 510 guidelines, which precisely define the rules for storing transport packaging.

Professional solutions of this type have numerous certificates and standards, such as:

• European CE certificate of conformity,
• TUV and DIBt quality certificates,
• international FM and UL requirements,
• NFPA fire protection standards,
• OSHA occupational safety regulations,
• ATEX certification for potentially explosive zones.

Maintaining the full efficiency of the protection systems requires regular servicing every 12 months. Equally important is legible GHS-compliant signage – intuitive pictograms allow for the rapid identification of hazardous substances. Such attention to detail and procedures is the most effective way to ensure maximum safety in any emergency situation.
