Düperthal ACID M acid and alkali cabinet
The Düperthal ACID M acid and alkali cabinet is a reliable solution for professionals who demand the highest level of safety and maximum compliance when storing corrosive chemicals and other hazardous substances. Its robust construction and extensive features improve both workflows and employee safety. Compared to alternative safety cabinets, this model scores particularly well thanks to its well-thought-out details, which are precisely tailored to the needs of laboratories, medical facilities and research centres.
Everything you need for the safe storage of acids and alkalis
This model is specially designed to meet the high demands of chemical storage. Acids and alkalis such as sulphuric acid, hydrochloric acid or potassium hydroxide pose particular challenges for furniture, as they can severely attack a variety of materials. The cabinet is designed so that neither the outer casing nor the interior is affected by such substances. In addition, safe handling is promoted by the fact that all elements, such as pull-outs and doors, are sturdily constructed and easy to operate.
Thanks to its practical features, the cabinet is suitable for a wide range of laboratory situations. For example, it can be easily integrated into an existing room layout and can be connected to an exhaust air system if required. This allows vapours to be extracted in a targeted manner, which is particularly relevant when highly reactive or strong-smelling chemicals need to be stored.
Safety features
The design, which complies with laboratory and medical standards, ensures a high level of protection against unauthorised access and when handling hazardous liquids. An important safety feature is the option of locking the cabinet, which increases access control and tamper protection. In addition, the design allows the doors to be opened easily for quick removal of bottles or containers, while ensuring secure closure during everyday use.

FAQs
How are the pull-out trays cleaned?
The interior fittings are chemical-resistant and can be treated with suitable neutralising or cleaning agents. Regular visual inspections ensure that no residues of substances accumulate that could impair functionality.
Is air circulation provided in the cabinet?
Yes, the cabinet is designed so that an exhaust air system can be connected. In this way, any vapours produced can be extracted in a controlled manner to improve the air quality in the room.
What certifications are mandatory for handling acids?
DIN EN 14470-1 is particularly relevant here, as it specifies specific requirements for the design of safety cabinets for flammable liquids and other hazardous substances. In addition, the CE marking indicates compliance with European safety standards.
Can substances other than acids and alkalis also be stored?
Yes, the system is basically designed for a wide range of chemicals. However, users should always check whether the stored substances and containers are compatible with each other and that the maximum load capacities are not exceeded.
Conclusion
In laboratories, clinics or research facilities, hazardous substances must be stored professionally, securely and in a user-friendly manner. This cabinet is optimised for both continuous use and variable operating conditions in everyday work. With its certified and well-thought-out design, hazardous substance storage can be organised effectively and the risk to personnel and equipment significantly reduced. Whether highly concentrated acids, strong alkalis or other reactive substances - thanks to this model, sensitive work areas remain protected while safe and efficient handling is guaranteed.
