Product Description
Flammable chemical safety cabinets are designed specifically for safely storing chemicals indoors. They provide heat resistance to protect from devastating fires. They are often located near point-of-use, which is convenient for workers.
Flammable liquids are extremely useful in our modern society, however their dangerous chemical and physical properties also pose a number of risks upon people, property and the environment of your organisation. Flammable liquids are liquids that give off flammable vapours at temperatures below 60 °C. If these flammable vapours come into contact with an ignition source, they will ignite and cause a severe fire. Also, large quantities of flammable vapours in the workplace can cause people to asphyxiate and pass out.
Yet, most companies adhere to industry best practices and observe certain colors for defined liquids. Proper chemical storage includes using the following colors:
▪Yellow: Flammable chemicals and liquids
▪Red: Paints, inks and other combustible liquids
▪Blue: Corrosive and hazardous liquids and solids
▪Green: Pesticides and insecticides
▪Silver / Neutral: Laboratory cabinets
▪White / Beige / Gray: Waste or outdoor lockers

FAQ
What Is a Flammable Cabinet?
A flammable cabinet is designed to safely store potentially flammable or combustible liquids. Instead of storing such hazardous materials on an exposed shelf, a flammable cabinet allows you to store flammable or combustible liquids in a container that is designed to prevent fires and smother flames.
What Is a Flammable Liquid?
Any liquid having a flashpoint at or below 199.4ºF and having a boiling point at or below 95ºF. These flammable liquids are then divided into four categories based on different ranges of flashpoints and boiling points. A liquid's flashpoint reflects its volatility (ability to generate vapor) and is necessary to know in cases where the vapor of the liquid, not the liquid itself, may burn and cause a fire.
What Goes in a Flammable Liquid Storage Cabinet?
Any flammable or combustible liquid should be stored in a flammable liquid storage cabinet. Common flammable liquids include:
Acetone
Benzine
Ether
Methanol
Petroleum
Placement
Flammable cabinets should not be placed in such a way that limits or prevents people from using exits, stairs, walkways, or doors. Certain categories of flammable liquids may not be allowed to be stored in basements.
Many people choose to place their flammable cabinets under fume hoods. This makes it more convenient to use flammable or combustible liquids in a laboratory setting.
It's important to note that improper venting of a flammable cabinet can result in a fire hazard. Flammable cabinets must be able to seal completely in order to smother a fire in case of emergency. Improper venting can allow oxygen to continue to enter the cabinet and feed the flames.
Labeling
All flammable cabinets must be conspicuously labeled, "FLAMMABLE - KEEP FIRE AWAY."
Do I Need a Flammable Cabinet?
Generally speaking, you need to have a flammable cabinet or other method of flammable storage if you are using and storing flammable liquids. Industries that commonly use flammable cabinets include:
Hospitals
Pharmacies
Medical research labs
Production facilities
Educational labs
Does Paint Need to Be Stored in a Flammable Cabinet?
Paint only needs to be stored in a flammable cabinet if you are storing more than 25 gallons.
Can Flammables and Combustibles Be Stored Together?
In most cases, yes. Flammables and combustibles can be stored together as long as no more than 120 gallons are stored in the same flammable cabinet.
What Shouldn't You Put in a Flammable Cabinet?
You should only put flammable or combustible liquids in a flammable safety cabinet. Other hazardous materials, such as acids, bases, or corrosive liquids, should be stored in acid and corrosive storage cabinets or other types of storage units, not flammable cabinets. You should also avoid storing materials in a flammable cabinet that may ignite or feed a fire.
