Industrial safety is not just about compliance; it is about preventing catastrophic loss. The 30 Gallon Red Flammable Safety Cabinet is your first line of defense against workplace fires. Engineered for the secure storage of flammable liquids, chemicals, and hazardous materials, this cabinet is an essential asset for scientific research labs, chemical enterprises, automotive workshops, and medical facilities.
Designed with a robust double-wall steel structure and an advanced three-point linkage lock, this explosion-proof cabinet isolates dangerous chemicals from potential ignition sources, giving your team critical evacuation time in the event of a fire.
Why Choose Our 30-Gallon Safety Cabinet?
1. Professional Classification System (Know Your Colors)
Storing chemicals requires precision. Mixing incompatible chemicals can lead to disasters. Our cabinets are color-coded based on a scientific classification system to ensure the right chemical goes in the right place.
| Color | Cabinet Type | Target Substances | Application Note |
| RED (This Product) | Flammable Liquid Storage | Flash point < 45°C (113°F) e.g., Aerosols, Inks, Paints, Ethanol, Gasoline. | Designed for high-risk flammable liquids. Visual warning for “Danger”. |
| YELLOW | Combustible/Paint Storage | Paints, Thinners, Solvents e.g., Oil, Crude Oil, Nitrocellulose, Glue. | Often used for storing paint cans and solvents in workshops. |
| BLUE | Corrosive Storage | Weak Acids & Alkalis (pH 2-12) e.g., Hydrochloric Acid, Bleach, Peroxides. | Features special anti-corrosion coating for chemical resistance. |
Note: This product page is for the RED cabinet, specifically optimized for low-flashpoint flammable liquids to maximize fire prevention.
2. Heavy-Duty Construction
- Double-Wall Steel: Built with two plates of sturdy 18-gauge (1.2mm) steel separated by 38mm of insulating air space. This thermal barrier significantly reduces heat transfer, protecting the internal contents from rapid temperature rise during a fire.
- Leak-Proof Sump: Accidents happen inside the cabinet too. A 50mm (2-inch) deep leak-tight sump at the bottom collects spills, preventing hazardous liquids from leaking onto your facility floor.
- Static Grounding: Includes a built-in static grounding connector to eliminate static electricity buildup—a common ignition source for volatile fumes.
3. Optimized for Convenience & Security
- High-Security Locking: Features a 3-point linkage lock system with a paddle handle. It accepts a padlock for double-lock management (essential for controlled substances), ensuring only authorized personnel have access.
- Adjustable Galvanized Shelf: The 30-gallon unit comes with a heavy-duty, adjustable steel shelf. It directs spills to the back and bottom of the leak-proof sump and can handle heavy loads like 5-gallon drums or boxes of reagent bottles.
- Dual Ventilation: Equipped with dual vents with flame arresters (on both sides) to allow hazardous fumes to be safely piped out if required by your local codes.

FAQ: Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why do I need a red cabinet specifically?
A: In our classification system, Red indicates the storage of liquids with a flash point below 45°C. This visual cue helps firefighters and employees immediately identify the contents as highly flammable, ensuring proper caution is taken.
Q: Can I store acids in this red cabinet?
A: No. You should not store strong corrosives in a standard steel flammable cabinet. For acids and alkalis (like hydrochloric acid or bleach), please choose our Blue Weak Acid/Alkali Storage Cabinet, which has specialized anti-corrosion interior trays.
Q: Does the cabinet come assembled?
A: Yes, the cabinet ships fully assembled. You may only need to adjust the shelf height to fit your specific containers.
Q: What is the benefit of the “Double Lock” configuration?
A: The “Double Lock” refers to the ability to use the built-in key lock plus an additional padlock (not included). This is crucial for “Two-Person Integrity” control or simply adding an extra layer of security against theft or unauthorized use.
