Storing flammable liquids safely is essential for protecting employees, buildings and business operations. Solvents, paints, chemicals and other flammable substances can increase the severity of a workplace fire when they are not stored correctly.
The Type 90 Fire-Resistant Safety Cabinet provides a secure and dependable solution designed specifically for hazardous and flammable materials.
Product Details
This cabinet is manufactured from a cold-bent steel sheet providing a robust and durable storage solution for environments of industrial, commercial, laboratory and sort. The steel is coated with anti-acid epoxy powder before passing through a thermal tunnel at 200°C. This process creates a finish that offers resistance against chemicals, corrosion and everyday workplace damage.
The fire resistance seen inside the cabinet is supported by a specialist insulation system designed to reduce the transfer of heat into the cabinet. The internal panels are also finished in melamine laminate, which provides high resistance against aggressive chemical vapours.
Key construction features include:
- High-density fibre insulation panels suitable for temperatures up to 800°C
- Insulation that is free from ceramic fibre
- Calcium sulphate panels for additional thermal protection
- Internal melamine laminate panels resistant to aggressive vapours
- Durable steel construction with an anti-acid epoxy finish
In the event of a workplace fire, this construction helps delay heat from reaching the substances stored inside. This can provide additional time for employees to evacuate and for emergency responders to control the incident.
Certified to EN 14470-1
The Type 90 Safety Storage Cabinet is certified in accordance with EN 14470-1, the recognised European standard for fire-resistant safety storage cabinets designed for the storage of flammable liquids. This standard sets out strict requirements covering fire resistance, construction, ventilation, spill containment and the performance of key safety components during a fire.
For businesses handling paints, solvents, fuels and other flammable products, choosing a certified cabinet provides greater reassurance than using a standard metal cupboard. It supports safer storage procedures, strengthens workplace fire precautions and helps organisations demonstrate a responsible approach to compliance, risk reduction and the protection of people, property and business operations.
The Right Storage for Flammable Substances
A standard metal cupboard may help keep hazardous products organised and away from general work areas, but it is not designed to provide the same level of fire-resistant protection as a certified safety storage cabinet. In the event of a workplace fire, an ordinary cupboard may heat up quickly, increasing the risk of the flammable liquids stored inside becoming involved in the fire.
The Type 90 Safety Storage Cabinet is specifically designed to delay heat from reaching its contents. Its specialist construction, fire-resistant insulation and certified performance help provide valuable additional time for employees to evacuate and for emergency services to respond. This makes it a far more suitable option for storing paints, solvents, chemicals and other flammable substances.
