Cabinets for chemicals

Cabinets for chemicals and occupational safety

Proper storage of hazardous substances is the foundation of health and safety in any modern laboratory. When choosing chemical cabinets, it is worth focusing on quality confirmed by certificates. Markings such as TÜV, GS mark or PZH certificates guarantee that the equipment meets strict safety standards.

Keeping things tidy is facilitated by GHS pictograms, which allow for fast and error-free material segregation. Manufacturers such as Asecos or Ecosafe offer a wide range of solutions tailored to the area:

  • compact width of 54 cm,
  • optimal width 81 cm,
  • capacious width 105 cm,
  • AL series with a capacity of 70 liters,
  • AZ series holding up to 300 liters of substances.

Investing in professional laboratory furniture is not only a matter of organizing work with reagents, but above all an effective way to minimize the risk of accidents. By choosing durable and proven solutions, you can be sure that your workplace is fully secured.

Fireproof, eco-friendly and corrosive cabinets

Specialized fireproof cabinets are the foundation for safety when storing lithium-ion batteries. Ecosafe AF models  with a self-closing mechanism isolate the contents from fire, and Asecos  systems make it easy to organize media in a single module.

These systems provide protection in many areas:

  • fireproof cabinets for batteries and gases,
  • ecological cabinets protecting groundwater,
  • racks chemically resistant to aggressive substances,
  • variants for paints that neutralize fumes,
  • e-line series for pesticide storage,
  • Polyethylene structures resistant to oil leaks.

Working with acids and alkalis requires corrosion-resistant furniture. For heavy drums, polyethylene systems are best suited for forklift operation.

Cabinets for flammable materials according to EN 14470-1

The safe storage of flammable substances must be carried out in accordance with the stringent EN 14470-1 standard. It classifies protective cabinets as Type 30 or Type 90, which directly indicates the fire resistance time expressed in minutes. The double-layer steel  design creates an efficient thermal barrier that effectively protects the stored materials from critical temperature rise in the event of a fire.

A key element of protection is static earthing, which eliminates the risk of spark jumping and ignition of fumes. Specialized models such as the Asecos CS-CLASSIC-F offer advanced technical solutions to increase the level of safety in the laboratory:

  • integrated thermal fuses that automatically close the doors,
  • specialized flame-interrupting nets,
  • ventilation systems to prevent the accumulation of toxic fumes,
  • antistatic epoxy coating to protect the case,
  • full ATEX certification compliance for risk control.

Investing in certified equipment is the foundation of safety in a professional work environment. By using interior cleaning systems and high-resistance materials, users can be sure that hazardous substances are stored optimally and in accordance with current regulations.

AISI 316 acid-resistant steel and polypropylene

The high quality and durability of laboratory equipment is the result of precise selection of raw materials and modern production technologies. The use of specialized materials allows for safe work with aggressive substances, ensuring maximum durability and resistance to damage.

  • AISI 316 acid-resistant steel with high resistance,
  • resistant to aggressive polypropylene (PP) acids,
  • modern PVC and melamine structures,
  • increasing the durability of the iron phosphorization process,
  • scratch-resistant powder coating RAL 7035,
  • internal reinforcements made of galvanized sheet.

This combination guarantees exceptional mechanical robustness and protection against direct contact with liquids. Thanks to advanced processing, the furniture retains full functionality and aesthetics even in a harsh environment where harmful chemical fumes are present.

Mechanical ventilation and contraption trays

Proper air circulation is an absolute basis for the health of employees exposed to harmful fumes. The high-tech solution, the Asecos CX-CLASSIC-G, uses an integrated recirculation filter that effectively neutralizes hazardous substances at the source. This system guarantees full independence from the external exhaust system, which translates into lower installation costs and greater mobility of the workstation.

Storage safety also means professional protection against uncontrolled leakage of chemicals. Thanks to the use of precisely designed structural elements, the system provides users with a number of benefits:

  • effective air circulation to protect the respiratory tract of personnel,
  • modern recirculation filter with high purification efficiency,
  • no need to build permanent connections to general ventilation,
  • airtight spill trays to prevent contamination of the workplace,
  • Sturdy galvanized sheet grates with high load-bearing capacity and stability.

Access Control & Master Key System

The safety of chemical storage is based on reliable security systems. Professional laboratory furniture uses cylindrical locks with three-point locking and an innovative Ergo-Lock mechanism that guarantees convenient and safe operation. In large facilities, the Master Key system is a key solution, enabling efficient management of access to multiple cabinets with a single key, which significantly increases the efficiency of staff work logistics.

In addition to advanced security systems, laboratory furniture offers a number of construction solutions that increase the comfort and safety of use:

  • rigorous FM certificates confirming the highest durability of the structure,
  • precise regulators to ensure the stability of the cabinets even on uneven ground,
  • adjustable shelves with a high load capacity adapted to heavy containers,
  • tight spill trays effectively protecting against uncontrolled leaks,
  • openwork inserts supporting optimal air circulation inside the furniture,
  • vertical and modular models allowing for flexible arrangement of limited space.

A solid protective barrier not only meets strict legal standards, but above all ensures mental comfort during everyday duties. Thanks to the well-thought-out design and high-quality materials, working with hazardous substances remains under full control, and laboratory equipment can be easily scaled with the growing needs of the team.
