Corrosive Substance Cabinet is a storage device specifically designed to store corrosive chemicals such as acids, alkalis, etc. Due to the fact that these chemicals can cause damage to human bodies, materials, and equipment, corrosive cabinets need to consider various safety requirements such as leak prevention, corrosion prevention, ventilation, and fire resistance when designing.
1.Corrosion resistant materials:
The manufacturing materials of corrosive cabinets are usually materials with strong corrosion resistance. Common materials include:
Stainless steel (such as 304 or 316 stainless steel): widely used in laboratory or industrial environments because it can resist the corrosion of most acids and alkalis.
Polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP): These plastic materials have excellent corrosion resistance to specific strong acids and bases, especially suitable for low capacity storage.
Metal with corrosion-resistant coating: Some cabinets use coated steel, which can provide additional protection to prevent direct contact between metal and corrosive substances.
2.Leak proof design:
Corrosive cabinets are typically equipped with leak proof trays or bottom collection troughs to capture chemicals that may leak. This design can effectively prevent liquid leakage from polluting the environment and facilitate the cleaning of leaked materials.
3.Ventilation system:
Many corrosive substances release harmful gases (such as chlorine, ammonia, etc.) during storage, so corrosive cabinets are usually equipped with ventilation devices to maintain air circulation and avoid the accumulation of harmful gases. These ventilation openings usually have filtering systems to prevent gas leakage.
4.Fire protection:
Corrosive substances may sometimes react with other substances, generate heat, and even cause fires. Therefore, some corrosive cabinets have certain fire protection designs, such as the use of refractory materials, to slow down the spread of fire and protect the safety of stored materials.
5.Safety signs:
Clear safety labels, such as identification symbols for corrosive substances such as acids and alkalis, need to be affixed to the exterior of the cabinet. These labels typically comply with international standards such as GHS classification, making it easy for staff to quickly identify and take appropriate safety measures.
6.Storage capacity and size:
According to usage requirements, corrosive cabinets have different capacity and size designs. According to the storage capacity, small cabinets (suitable for laboratories or small-scale work) or large cabinets (used for industrial or larger scale storage needs) can be selected.
Laboratory: In laboratories such as chemistry, medicine, and environmental testing, it is often necessary to store corrosive substances such as strong acids and bases.
Industry: In the production process, many chemical and pharmaceutical factories need to store large amounts of corrosive raw materials, and corrosive cabinets provide secure storage solutions.
Schools and research institutions: Corrosive cabinets used for storing hazardous chemicals are also commonly seen in teaching or research processes.
1.Chemical type: Select materials suitable for storage to ensure that the cabinet can withstand the characteristics of the corrosive chemicals stored.
2.Storage capacity: Choose a cabinet of appropriate size and capacity based on the amount of storage and frequent usage requirements.
3.Security requirements: Ensure that the cabinet complies with relevant safety standards (such as EN 14470-1 or NFPA 430, etc.) to provide comprehensive protection against fire, leakage, and ventilation.
4.Maintenance and Cleaning: Considering the convenience of cleaning the cabinet, choose a cabinet design that is easy to clean and maintain.
Overall, the design and use of corrosive cabinets aim to maximize the safety of operators, prevent harmful chemical leaks, explosions, fires, or environmental pollution.
