- Epoxy resin external finish, acid resistant and thermal tunnel at 200 °C.
- Closet insulation, using high density rock wool panels and calcium sulfate panels.
- Internal finish with melanin panels, highly resistant to chemical and aggressive vapors.
- 30 mm expansive thermal insulation joints, which in case of increased temperature, certify a perfect tightness of the cabinet.
It should be noted that the internal temperature of the cabinet, during the defined period cycle, must not exceed 180 °C (50 °C in case of gas) to avoid explosions, and to guarantee the personnel in case of any danger that may be caused.
Functions of Security Cabinets
The main function of a safety cabinet is the protection provided by modules from unwanted contact of hazardous substances (solid or liquid), in the event of fire, for a defined period of time and the storage capacity they provide.
Because, cabinets should be able to provide the necessary ventilation, in the presence of containers not hermetically sealed, especially with volatile substances, mixtures, etc.; in order to reduce the odor, as the ventilation system, should keep the cabinet in depression. In addition, the doors must be fitted with an automatic closing device, for when the ambient temperature reaches 50 °C.
Also, the height should not exceed 1.75 meters and the shelves, should be tray type, to hold possible fluid losses, caused by damage or accidental ruptures of the containers. Likewise, the bottom vat must always be present, to collect accidental losses of liquids, not retained by tray-type shelves, and even, the capacity must be at least 10% of the volume of all containers contained in the cabinet, or at least 110% of the volume of the largest vessel.
Finally, the cabinets are supplied with a grounding, which must be connected to the setting of the electrical installation, to prevent electrostatic discharges.
