They are driven by their conviction to continually create innovative and intelligent product solutions and have proven themselves as inventors of trend-setting solutions based on this conviction. Right from the start asecos has set a new level of safety by introducing Type 90 technology for fire-resistant safety storage cabinets.
asecos offers more than 3000 products for the storage, handling, transportation and ventilation of hazardous materials.
Technical information
The primary goal of a safety storage cabinet is the minimization of the fire risk when storing combustible liquids or compressed gases. In case of fire the safety storage cabinets prevent the substances stored within from assisting the spread of the fire. A special fire-retardant construction makes it possible.
The quality and safety of asecos products are recognized and certified by all leading institutes. Products manufactured in-house by asecos are benchmarks for maximum safety and quality.
In total, there are four cabinet type classes: 15, 30, 60 and 90. The respective type class indicates how long the cabinet protects the hazardous materials stored inside against fire.
The asecos cabinet models are available in various sizes, with different doors and door arrest systems as well as innumerable equipment options. Furthermore, there are different cabinets for the storage of combustible liquids, compressed gas cylinders, acids and alkalis and non-combustible chemicals.
Additional information
The world's first Type 90 safety storage cabinet was designed by asecos. As the worldwide market leader for safety storage cabinets according to EN 14470 part 1 and part 2, asecos has been actively involved in standardization bodies at both national and international levels. The innovations from asecos are thus state-of-the-art developments.

Technical ventilation of safety storage cabinets
Hazardous materials create harmful vapours which need to be captured at their release and production point. Otherwise hazardous area zones will occur and increase the risk of explosive atmospheres. Therefore when storing hazardous materials in safety storage cabinets, the technical ventilation will have to be considered: our tested and certified ventilation systems and modules guarantee compliance with TRGS 510 (Annexe 3) by eliminating all the emerging hazardous materials - creating a healthy and safe working environment for your employees.
The recirculating air filter system UFA.20.30 with integrated electronic exhaust air monitoring and filter unit allows the flexible, cost- and energy-saving installation and ventilation of your safety storage cabinets – regardless of whether it is a tall or under bench cabinet. A connection to the exhaust fan is not required.
Extraction units and modules capture escaping vapours and gases safely - easy and quick installation, ready to plug-in. Available for the installation on top of the cabinet or for wall mounting, with or without extraction air monitoring.
Lack of awareness about the dangers of improper storage and handling of flammables pose great risk to people and property. Only those who know the risks when handling hazardous materials are able to avoid them. With our practice oriented fire awareness training we try to raise awareness for the risks associated with the handling and storage of dangerous substances. We participate in all important national and international fairs and events to demonstrate the threats of hazardous materials and to present the suitable solution for your application. Take advantage of an on-site presentation and consultation with our new show truck.
