As the name suggests, flammable cabinets are designed to hold flammable substances, such as chemicals and other liquids. If it could catch fire or could be used to fuel a fire, it should be kept away from other liquids.
More and more industries are using flammables in their manufacturing process or for the equipment needed to make the products. Therefore, the risk of fire and explosions is higher. Keeping your employees safe is priority one, but you should also consider the safety of your property. If something catches fire, it could stop production for days while an investigation happens. Similarly, it can severely damage equipment that can cost a fortune to replace.
Flammable cabinets are designed to protect flammable liquids. They come in a variety of sizes to accommodate various sizes of products. For example, cans, aerosols, plastic bottles, and more can all be stored inside. Plus, most of them have adjustable shelves, allowing you to set the height for maximum storage ability. However, it’s not a good idea to keep everything in one spot; you may need multiple cabinets to hold everything safely. Most of these cans and bottles have storage information on them, such as keeping them away from other flammables or leaving plenty of room around them.
