Organic Peroxide Storage that complies with AS 2714:2008
STOREMASTA organic peroxide safety cabinets are manufactured to comply with the requirements of the Australian Standard AS 2714:2008 - The storage and handling of organic peroxides. Compliance with AS 2714:2008 allow STOREMASTA’s class 5.2 safety cabinets to legally store all types of Class 5.2 Organic Peroxides. Class 5.2 Dangerous Goods are unstable substances and they can undergo exothermic self-accelerating decomposition. This means that they may be liable to explosive decomposition, be sensitive to impact or friction, burn rapidly, react dangerously with other substances and cause damage to eyes. Therefore safe storage of organic peroxides is a legal requirement.
There are a number of mandatory design specifications for organic peroxide storage cabinets to comply with the requirements of the Australian Standard AS 2714:2008. These design specifications include:
- The walls, floor and door of the cabinet must be constructed of double-walled steel with an air-gap of at least 40mm between the walls.
- The cabinet must be fitted with self-closing, close-fitting doors that automatic release if pressure builds up inside the cabinet.
- The cabinet must be fitted with metal catches and hinges.
- The inner base of the cabinet must be a liquid tight compound of at least 150mm deep to catch spills. This compound must be designed to prevent it from being used as a storage space.
- The cabinet shall be designed to ensure all spills within the cabinet are directed into the lower compound.
- Any shelves within the cabinet must be perforated to allow free air movement.
