Cabinet for Acids and Alkalis SL-CLASSIC Model SL.196.060.MH.R

Safety Storage Cabinets for Acids and Alkalis

SL-LINE

The SL-LINE model line offers tall, corrosion-resistant safety storage cabinets specifically designed for the safe, separated storage of aggressive, non-flammable hazardous substances, particularly acids and alkalis. These cabinets are intended for use in laboratories and work areas in accordance with TRGS 510, DGUV Information 213-850, and the German Ordinance on Hazardous Substances (GefStoffV).

Constructed from high-quality materials, each cabinet features a powder-coated sheet steel body and an interior composed of melamine resin and flame-retardant speciality boards. The design includes two hermetically separated storage compartments, divided either vertically or horizontally, for the safe segregation of incompatible substances. Integrated aeration and ventilation systems, along with metal-free, corrosion-resistant air ducts, ensure optimal containment and long-term durability.
