Choosing the right chemical safety storage cabinet requires evaluating chemical type, material compatibility, storage capacity, ventilation, and safety standards. Here's a quick guide:
| Chemical Type | Recommended Color | Suggested Cabinet Type |
|---|---|---|
| Flammable liquids | Yellow | Flammable safety cabinet |
| Strong acids & bases | Blue | Corrosion-resistant cabinet |
| Toxic chemicals | Red | Airtight toxic storage cabinet |
| Mixed substances | Dual/multi-zone | Compartmented combination cabinet |
Epoxy-coated steel: Suitable for organic solvents, with fire resistance
Polypropylene (PP): Ideal for corrosive acids/alkalis, highly resistant
| Capacity | Typical Use |
|---|---|
| 30L–45L | Small labs, under-bench installation |
| 60L–90L | General laboratory use |
| 120L+ | Large labs, centralized storages |
4️⃣ Determine Ventilation Requirement
Must include: 3-point lock / fire vents / sump tray / hazard labels
Recommended certifications: ISO 9001, CE, OSHA, NFPA, GB 17914
Chemical type + Material + Volume + Ventilation + Certification = The Right Cabine
