SKU: QMPHighSecAcidCupboards Category: Chemical Storage Tag: COSHH Cabinets Brands: QMP

Description

Ensuring the safe and secure storage of corrosive substances is a critical requirement for any laboratory, healthcare, or industrial facility. The QMP Acid / Alkali Security Cupboards are specifically engineered to provide a robust solution for the segregation of hazardous materials, combining heavy-duty construction with advanced security features to mitigate the risks associated with chemical leaks and unauthorised access.

High-Security Construction

Each unit is manufactured from 1.2mm mild steel with a seam-welded carcass for maximum structural integrity. To prevent forced entry or tampering, these cupboards feature full-length piano hinges and a reinforced door aperture with return bends that eliminate open gaps. Security is further enhanced by a 7-lever Lowe & Fletcher 2802 anti-pick safe lock and a two-point espagnolette locking mechanism, ensuring your hazardous inventory remains restricted to authorised personnel only.

Superior Spill Management

Safety is at the forefront of the design. These cupboards are equipped with adjustable, spill-retaining galvanised shelves capable of supporting a 140KG Uniformly Distributed Load (UDL). In the event of a container failure, the integral liquid-tight sump—also manufactured from 1.2mm mild steel with fully welded seams—safely collects and contains spills at the base of the unit to prevent environmental contamination.

Hygiene and Fire Safety

For environments where cleanliness is paramount, the carcass and doors are powder-coated in White (BS 00.E.55) and treated with Germ Guard anti-bacterial compound. This three-stage pre-treatment and epoxy polyester finish is stoved at 180°C to provide a durable, easy-clean surface. Furthermore, the units carry a Reaction to Fire Classification EN 13501-1, providing essential peace of mind for safety compliance.

FAQ's

Question	Technical Answer
What does COSHH stand for and why do I need a cabinet?	COSHH stands for the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health. You need a specialised cabinet to safely contain corrosive, toxic, or irritant substances, ensuring compliance with UK health and safety laws.
What is a sump and what capacity should it have?	A sump is a leak-proof base designed to catch spills. UK regulations require the sump to hold 110% of the largest container or 10% of the total volume stored, whichever is greater.
What do the different cabinet colours mean?	Yellow: Flammables White: Acids and Alkalis Red: Flammables or Chemicals Green: Pesticides & Agrochemicals Grey: General Hazardous
Can I store flammables and acids in the same cabinet?	NO. You must segregate incompatible substances. Storing flammables with corrosive acids can lead to dangerous chemical reactions or compromise the cabinet’s integrity.
How much flammable liquid can I store?	DSEAR regulations recommend a maximum of 50 litres for highly flammable liquids (flashpoint < 23°C) and up to 250 litres for other flammable liquids within a workroom.
Are these COSHH cabinets fire-rated?	Our QMP Steel units are Reaction to Fire EN 13501-1 certified and have a performance of A2, s2, d0.
Do pesticide cabinets require ventilation?	Yes. Our pesticide cabinets feature louvred doors to allow for natural ventilation, preventing the dangerous build-up of vapours and fumes.
Can COSHH cabinets be used outdoors?	Steel cabinets are for indoor use. For outdoors, we recommend our Hazardous Bins or Chests. We can also provide quotes for galvanised cabinets.
Should the cabinet be bolted to the floor?	Highly Recommended. Floor-bolting tall cabinets prevents tipping, especially when heavy liquid containers are stored on upper shelves.
Are the shelves adjustable?	Yes. Shelves can be moved in 25mm increments to accommodate various container heights while maintaining structural safety.
Manufacturing & Delivery	Nearly all of our COSHH cabinets are British-made and delivered fully assembled to ensure they meet safety integrity standards from day one.
Regulations (DSEAR)	Our cabinets help you meet DSEAR (Dangerous Substances and Explosive Atmospheres Regulations) requirements for fire-resistant, secure storage.
