Flammable Safety Storage Cabinets, Type 90 for Reliable Laboratory Protection
Flammable Safety Storage Cabinets, Type 90 by Labor Security Systems provide top-tier protection for storing flammable liquids and solids in South African laboratories. These TÜV Certified cabinets meet EN 14470-1, SANS 54470-1, and EN 16121/16122 standards. With 90 minutes of fire resistance, they offer advanced safety features that align with international safety regulations.
Certified Safety and Advanced Fire Resistance
The Safetybox® S line uses eco-friendly, fire-resistant insulation to ensure up to 90 minutes of protection. In the event of a fire, multiple automated mechanisms are activated. These include an automatic door-closing system at 50 °C and shut-off valves at 70 ± 10 °C. Expanding intumescent seals and the Ignis-Lock system further enhance safety by preventing door access during critical conditions. This ensures flammable materials remain isolated from ignition sources.
Ventilation and Filtration for Operator Safety
To ensure compliance with EN 14470-1, the cabinets feature two certified valves that allow natural ventilation. These valves enable air exchange at a rate of at least 10 times the cabinet’s volume per hour. When connected to an external suction motor, the system can support a charcoal filtration unit. This setup effectively captures harmful vapours, protecting staff from toxic fume exposure.
Practical Design for Laboratory Environments
S line models—AC 600 S, AC 900 S, AC 1200 S, AC 1200/130 S, and AC 900/130 S—combine safety with practical design. Each unit includes tray-style shelves and a spill containment basin to manage leaks efficiently. Moreover, their lightweight build and clean internal design make them ideal for modern labs. A palletised base allows for easy installation, while volume options from 96 to 160 litres suit various storage needs.
