Research environments using many different types of chemicals have special storage requirements. Whether using acids, bases or solvents, it is critical that incompatible liquids are segregated to avoid disastrous explosions or fire. The SDS (Safety Data Sheet) should be reviewed to determine chemical characteristics and recommended storage practices.
The ChemCor® thermoplastic coating on all interior surfaces provides superior protection against corrosion from drips and off-gassing from harsh chemicals. Seam-free surface eliminates the need for rivets or fasteners which risk corrosion from seep-through chemicals. Non-porous surface resists staining and cleans up easily.
ChemCor® Lined Under Fume Hood Cabinets have one adjustable shelf and a 4"h x 3"d (102mm x 77mm) toe kick for undercounter or fume hood base use. Back wall vents with built-in flame arresters are positioned at lower left and top right for jurisdictions that mandate venting of vapors. Specially-formulated, baked-on powder coat paint on cabinet exterior provides for long life and extra resistance to harsh chemicals. In addition, they have all the great features and benefits of blue steel cabinets, including grounding wire connections, adjustable shelves, leakproof sills, three-point self-latching doors and leveling feet. Self-close door(s) shuts and latches automatically when a fusible link melts at 165°F(74ºC) under fire conditions. Unique, concealed self-closing mechanism offers obstruction-free access to contents.
