Chemicals storage – Asecos storage cabinets

A new set of storage cabinets suitable for safe and proper storage of non-flammable chemicals and poisonous substances is available from asecos. The company highlights how the state-of-the-art design comes with more customised features, along with a variety of sizes to fit as standard in every chemical facility.

Solids and powders – for example, nitrates, sulfates, phosphates and various oxides – in addition to aqueous solutions, such as brine or sodium hydroxide, can be safely stored in these cabinets, says asecos. It also points out that, with such dangerous chemicals, ventilation, as required by law, is of utmost importance.

The new series can also be used for storing substances that could pollute the environment and water. The cabinets are now optionally designed with certified sumps, according to German steel-tray regulations (StawaR), states the company.

A range of widths and heights, along with a variety of door colours and designs, as well as customised interiors, increase the diversity of the cabinets in the portfolio. Folding doors or wing doors are also available, says asecos, with wing doors having optional integrated windows.
