For obvious and safety reasons (fires, explosions, corrosions, intoxications, …) all dangerous chemicals have to be handled and stored with great precaution. This brochure will provide you with storage solutions for your flammables, according to your security needs. No matter what your activity area is (e.g. workshop, laboratory, store-room, manufacturing premises, industrial hall, …), the products can be very flammable or them highly flammable, you must always store your chemicals safely. Do not hesitate to contact us for any personal advice.

Safety cabinets for flammables protect chemicals (by extension also human beings, animals and personal belongings) from fire risks or unusual heating sources. The fire protection is assured by keeping the flammables into the cabinet. This is done by various means: automatic doors closing (available on some of our models) and / or thermo-expanding seals of the doors allowing to isolate the internal body – or also the availability of thermo-fuses which automatically seal off the ventilation system (EN 14470). Some models are also equipped with a fire-extinguisher unit within the cabinet, thus preventing fire to break out in the Safety cabinet.
