Aerosol Storage Cages

Aerosols fall under the category of Class 2 gases, which means that they fall within the broad requirements of AS 4332 - The storage and handling of gases in cylinders. Requirements include natural ventilation to prevent the build up of harmful or flammable gases, projectile protection if cans explode, suitable DG and hazard signage, plus security to deter unauthorised entry.

You should only use and store aerosol products in well-ventilated areas, away from heat sources and direct sunlight. Read the label and safety data sheet (SDS) for your aerosol to ensure you’re following the correct safety guidelines.

An Aerosol Cage is storage equipment specifically designed and constructed for the housing of aerosol cans. These are generally purpose-built cages that offer a specific range of controls to reduce the risks associated with aerosols including ignition and accidental releases.

In general, aerosols can be flammable, as many aerosol products contain flammable propellants or ingredients. The flammability of an aerosol depends on its specific formulation and ingredients. Common propellants like butane, propane, or isobutane are flammable, and they are used in many aerosol products like spray paints, deodorants, and hair sprays.

The Aerosol Storage Cage range includes a variety of options to suit all workplaces working with aerosols. Cages capacities include everything from 18 Can to 625 Can Aerosol Storage.
