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.
