1. Flammable Liquid Storage Cabinets
When it comes to flammable liquids, safety can never be compromised. Our flammable storage cabinets are engineered to provide temporary fire protection, preventing fires from spreading and containing volatile substances. These cabinets are a must-have for any industrial or laboratory setting where flammable materials are present.
Key Flammable Storage Cabinets

For larger storage needs, check out our 90-gallon flammable storage cabinet. It's great for industrial settings with high flammable liquid usage. These larger cabinets offer increased capacity without compromising on safety features, making them ideal for facilities that handle lots of flammable materials.
2. Corrosive Chemical Storage Solutions
Corrosive chemicals can eat through regular cabinets. That's why we offer specialized corrosive storage options. These cabinets are made to withstand the harsh effects of corrosive substances, keeping both the chemicals and the surrounding area safe.
