Acid and alkali cabinets

Safe storage of acids and bases in the laboratory is ensured by specialized chemical cabinets  of the Asecos and Ecosafe brands, including the SL-CLASSIC, SLX-CLASSIC, APC, FM and ECO-8E series. These solutions are designed to work with corrosive substances, reduce the emission of hazardous fumes and meet the requirements of health and safety standards and PIP controls. Their ability to physically separate acids and bases is crucial, which minimizes the risk of chemical reactions and increases user safety.

The selection of the appropriate model depends on the type of substances stored, the required capacity and the operating conditions in a given laboratory.

Corrosive cabinet materials

Laboratory cabinets designed for corrosive substances are made of materials resistant to chemicals and vapors. The interiors of models such as Ecosafe APC are based on highly chemically resistant plastics that protect the structure and reduce material degradation.

Materials used:

• polypropylene,
• HDPE,
• technopolymers,
• The MFC
• chemically resistant laminates,
• PVC.

The body of the cabinet is most often made of galvanized or stainless steel in a double-walled structure. The whole is protected by a powder-coated epoxy coating, which increases resistance to acids and extends the durability of the furniture in a chemical environment.

Ventilation systems that remove chemical fumes

Ventilation systems in chemical cabinets are used to remove harmful fumes and reduce the risk of their accumulation. They can operate in gravity or mechanical mode with the use of external fans. The Asecos SLX-CLASSIC model has an additional filtration system that neutralizes vapors at the source. ATEX-certified solutions are used in potentially explosive zones.

Highlights:

• reduction of chemical fumes,
• ignition protection,
• protection of workers' health,
• ventilation holes in the structure,
• adjustable air dampers,
• superstructure for easy cleaning.

These systems improve occupational safety and help maintain controlled conditions in the laboratory.

Spill spill trays

Escapement trays mounted in the lower part of laboratory cabinets are used to stop chemical leaks. They protect the interior of the cabinet and limit the spread of hazardous liquids. The solutions used by Asecos and Ecosafe increase the safety of reagent storage.

Highlights:

• chemically resistant trays,
• bathtubs integrated into the wardrobe,
• trays for laboratory dishes,
• tight steel elements,
• polyethylene inserts.

These systems reduce the effects of possible leaks and make it easier to keep the workplace clean.

Safety standards for certified chemical cabinets

Specialized chemical cabinets, designed in accordance with the strict standards PN-EN 14470-1 and PN-EN 14470-2, are the foundation of fire protection in workplaces. Their design, equipped with fire traps, provides effective thermal insulation for 30 or 90 minutes. Such a time margin is crucial for the safe evacuation of personnel and the protection of property from the effects of fire. The high quality of these professional solutions is confirmed by numerous international certificates and standards:

• European CE and GS marks (Geprüfte Sicherheit),
• Stringent FM and UL approvals
• DIBt and ISO certificates,
• compliance with the EN 16121 laboratory standard,
• GHS and ISO 3864 compliant labelling.

Investing in certified equipment is not only about completing legal formalities, but above all about real safety and peace of mind. By choosing proven solutions, you can be sure that the storage of chemicals is carried out in a professional manner, fully compliant with health and safety and fire protection standards.

High wardrobes and undercounter models

The choice of laboratory cabinets depends on the available space. The tall Asecos models  (up to 230 cm) provide a large storage capacity, while the under-counter versions allow you to save space and store reagents directly at the workstation. The stability of the structure is ensured by adjustable feet, which allow the furniture to be leveled.

Key features:

• height up to 230 cm in tall versions,
• compact undercounter wardrobes,
• adjustable leveling feet,
• modular design for easy organization,
• separate chambers for different substances,
• pull-out shelves for increased work comfort.

The modular design allows you to adjust the cabinet layout to the type of chemicals stored. Pull-out shelves make it easy to access the contents and reduce the risk of damage to dishes, which increases the safety and durability of your equipment.

Internal design for segregating reagents

Asecos SL-CLASSIC cabinets allow you to  safely store chemicals thanks to the internal chamber design. The arrangement of vertical and horizontal partitions allows for the separation of different groups of reagents, which reduces the risk of their uncontrolled reaction and improves the organization of work in the laboratory.

The most important elements of the structure:

• sturdy shelves with high load capacity,
• resistance to corrosion from chemical fumes,
• automatic door closing system,
• certified cylinder locks,
• multi-point locking,
• protection against fume emissions.

The construction based on galvanized or powder-coated steel ensures durability in a chemical environment. Separating the reagents in separate chambers makes it easier to maintain order and increases the safety of use.
