Acid Cabinets

Store corrosive liquids in specially designed safety cabinets. Labs using different kinds of chemicals present special storage requirements. Whether using acids, bases, or solvents, it is critical that incompatible liquids are segregated to avoid explosions or fire. It is also important to know chemical compatibility as it relates to the construction materials of the cabinet itself. The appropriate MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet) should be reviewed to determine chemical characteristics and recommended storage practices.

Consider the type of chemical to be stored when selecting a cabinet.
Corrosives can easily penetrate and destroy metal surfaces. To resist acids and alkaline corrosives Justrite and Eagle offer three varieties of acid cabinet:

• polyethylene cabinets feature polyethylene construction provides solid protection against leaks. Chemically inert, linear low density polyethylene offers maximum resistance against rust and corrosion.
  
• 18-gauge steel cabinets with corrosion resistant paint are ideal for flammable corrosives as they have a unique powder coat paint for chemical resistance and polyethylene shelf trays.
• nonmetallic (wood) laminated cabinets resist nearly all acids and corrosives and have no internal metal parts to corrode. Sliding door makes it perfect for aisle use.

All cabinets, chests & accessories listed below are rated for corrosive materials
Polyethylene Acid Cabinets offer maximum resistance against rust and corrosion. Suitable for highly corrosive liquids such as sulfuric, nitric and hydrochloric acids	Non-Metallic Acid Cabinets are made of wood laminate and resist nearly all acids and corrosives such as phenol, nitric acid and sulfuric acid.
Standard Acid Cabinets are ideal for most acids/ corrosives.* They offer polyethylene shelf trays and powder coat paint for chemical resistance.	Undercounter Acid Cabinets take advantage of undercounter spaces.
Compac™ & Countertop Acid Cabinets store smaller quantities of corrosive liquids and acids near or on a workstation.	Slimline™ Acid Cabinets conveniently-sized cabinet fits virtually anywhere. optional deep slimline adds even more storage space.
Blue Drum Cabinets for Flammable Acids designed to house drums used for gravity flow dispersing, drum cradle available.	Under Fume Hood Acid Cabinets are designed for the safe storage and venting of solvents and Acid liquids under a fume hood.
Acid Cabinets with ChemCor® Liner are coated with an acid-resistant thermoplastic liner to offer extra protection against corrosion.	Piggyback™ & Stackable Acid Cabinets can be used singly or stacked, mounted or used on countertops.
High Security Acid Cabinets designed for the protection or restriction of access to hazardous materials.	Accessories for safety cabinets include rollers for drums, self-closing conversion kits, leveling feet, dollies, casters, etc.
