Metal-free cabinet interiors

Type 90 safety storage cabinets with standard metallic interior will develop corrosion if they are used for storing flammable liquids and small quantities of hazardous substances. The hazardous vapour from acids or alkalis will react with the metal and cause it to rust - shortening the storage cabinet's lifespan and reducing its protective capabilities. Corrosive substances can also affect the cabinet's sump, thus increasing the risk of leaks.

To address these problems, asecos has developed new metal-free interiors for safety storage cabinets. Every part of the interior that is permeable to corrosive vapours is made of non-corrosive material. The height-adjustable shelves and all internal coatings are made of melamineclad chipboard. Each storage shelf also has its own polypropylene sump; the sump at the base of the cabinet is made of the same material. This metalfree construction means the cabinet can store both acids and alkalis. The Type 90 cabinet complies with EN 14470-1.
