Construction: Our Flammable Liquid Cabinets are built with a double wall construction with an integrated 40 mm thermal barrier. Our cabinet’s floor, walls, doors, and roof are made with double walled steel. The gaps in between the steel panels are filled with fire resistant insulations thus adding another level of protection from radiant heat emanating from either internal or external fires that may occur.

The parts that make up the flammable material storage cabinet superstructure responsible for its structural integrity is made up of sturdy materials that will not melt in temperatures below 850 degrees Celsius. Not including the cabinet’s seals and gaskets, of course.

The doors of our flammable storage cabinets are constructed with double walled steel and flaunts a self-closing feature. Additionally, the doors also feature a three-point self-latching system. This design is implemented to minimise the exposure of the cabinets content from external elements thus reducing unnecessary risks which may inadvertently be caused by human negligence.

Brief Primer about Indoor Flammable storage

What are flammable liquids, firstly? Flammable liquids like the name implies are liquids that are very volatile that can ignite easily with a spark or ignition source. To be more specific, The Australian Dangerous Goods Code defines flammable liquids as:

“Flammable liquids are liquids, or mixtures of liquids, or liquids containing solids in solution or suspension (for example, paints, varnishes, lacquers, etc., but not including substances otherwise classified on account of their dangerous characteristics) which give off a flammable vapour at temperatures of not more than 60 °C, closed-cup test, or not more than 65.6 °C, open-cup test, normally referred to as the flash point. This class also includes:

(a) liquids offered for transport at temperatures at or above their flash point; and

(b) substances that are transported or offered for transport at elevated temperatures in a liquid state and which give off a flammable vapour at a temperature at or below the maximum transport temperature.”

Now we know the basic and the legal definition of what a flammable liquid is. We should be discussing why it’s so important for a company to know and comply with safety regulations, especially when they are handling potentially flammable goods indoors.
