Why Choose Spillbase’s Chemical Storage Cabinets?
Robust Construction and Durability
Spillbase’s chemical storage cabinets are built with superior materials such as double steel walls, ensuring the utmost protection for the chemicals stored inside. This durable construction offers excellent resistance to external pressure, reducing the risk of chemical spills, leaks, and other hazards.
Built-In Spill Containment
A key feature of these cabinets is their deep liquid sump at the base, which helps contain any accidental spills or leaks. This containment feature is designed to prevent chemicals from spreading, thus minimizing the risk of contamination in your workspace.
Advanced Safety Mechanisms
Spillbase’s cabinets come with intelligent safety systems, such as self-closing doors and pressure-sensitive release mechanisms. The self-closing doors ensure the chemicals stay secure even if the cabinet is not properly closed, while the pressure release feature automatically opens the doors in case of dangerous internal pressure buildup, preventing any potentially harmful situations.
Compliance with Safety Standards
Our chemical storage cabinets meet the necessary safety standards, including AS/NZS 4452-1997 for toxic substances. These cabinets ensure compliance with both local and international regulations, making them ideal for businesses that prioritize workplace safety and regulatory adherence.
Types of Chemical Storage Cabinets
Flammable Liquid Storage Cabinets: Designed specifically for storing flammable liquids, these cabinets offer a fire-resistant solution to ensure your chemicals remain secure under various conditions.

Where to Place Your Chemical Storage Cabinets?
To ensure the safety of your facility, chemical storage cabinets should be placed in specific areas:
On the ground floor for easy access and safety in case of emergencies.
In well-ventilated areas with low humidity to maintain the integrity of the chemicals.
Away from high-traffic zones to reduce the likelihood of accidents.
On solid, level ground to prevent instability or tipping.
Locking and Bonding Chemical Cabinets
Depending on the type of chemicals stored, some chemical storage cabinets may need to be locked to prevent unauthorized access. For example, toxic substances should be stored in lockable cabinets to enhance safety. While not all cabinets need to be locked, it’s often recommended for high-risk chemicals. Additionally, cabinets used for flammable substances may require bonding or earthing to prevent electrical ignition.
The Importance of Proper Chemical Grouping
When using chemical storage cabinets, it’s important to store chemicals by their hazard classification. Grouping chemicals by compatibility—such as flammable liquids, acids, and toxic substances—helps reduce the risk of dangerous chemical reactions.
