Fire protection for hazardous substance cabinets

The challenges

... in fire protection for hazardous substance cabinets are manifold and include various aspects.

  • High fire load: spontaneously flammable or reactive substances can trigger dangerous reactions.
  • Hazardous vapours: sufficient ventilation and exhaust air systems are required.
  • Safety regulations: hazardous substance cabinets must be fire-resistant in accordance with DIN EN 14470-1/-2.
  • Effective choice of extinguishing agent: water-based extinguishing agents are often unsuitable. Specific gas or aerosol extinguishing systems are preferable.
  • Accessibility: dense machine installations and narrow aisles make firefighting more difficult.
  • Emergency concept: automatic warning systems and temperature monitoring are useful.

Effective fire protection for hazardous substance cabinets requires a combination of standardised construction, suitable extinguishing systems, and preventive measures. This is the only way to prevent fires and store hazardous substances safely.

Our fire extinguishing system: AeroPro

Integrate our AeroPro extinguishing system into your fire protection concept!

Aerosol fire extinguishing systems can easily be integrated into hazardous material cabinets. They can be configured with electronic, thermal, or pneumatic triggers and respond in seconds. The alarm is signalled with signal lights, acoustic signals, and activation of the fire alarm system.

In the event of a fire, AeroPro has a dual effect: it removes the oxidising agent from the fire and provides molecular cooling.
