Have You Chosen the Right Chemical Safety Cabinet? These Factors Decide Your Lab’s Safety!

2025-07-15

1. Introduction

Storing chemicals in laboratories isn't just about shelves and doors—it's about life safety. The wrong cabinet can cause fires, toxic exposure, or chemical leakage. That’s why a chemical safety storage cabinet is not just a cabinet, but a critical piece of your lab’s risk control strategy.

But many labs still make the mistake of choosing based on looks or price, not on chemical type, fire safety, or ventilation needs.

So here’s the big question: Did you choose the right one?

2. The 5 Key Factors That Really Matter

✅ 1. Store by Chemical Type

Flammable liquids → Yellow fire cabinet
Acids & alkalis → Blue corrosion-resistant cabinet
Toxic substances → Red sealed cabinet

Never store incompatible chemicals together!

✅ 2. Material Selection

Epoxy-coated steel: Standard fireproof
Stainless steel: Humid/cleanroom environments
PP (polypropylene): Strong acid/base use (not fireproof)

Cabinets for flammables must be fire-rated steel with double-layer construction.

✅ 3. Don’t Forget Ventilation

Connect to central exhaust if available
No duct? Choose cabinet with built-in fan + carbon filter

✅ 4. Certifications Matter

Ensure your cabinet meets at least one of the following:

ISO9001, CE, OSHA 29 CFR 1910.106
NFPA 30, GB 17914-2013

✅ 5. Design Details = Safety

Look for:

Three-point locks, adjustable shelves, leak-proof trays
GHS-compliant labels, flame-retardant materials

3. Conclusion

This is not just a steel box.
It’s the last line of defense for your lab.

Choose wisely. Your safety depends on it.
