Metal Cabinets Are Not Acceptable For Acid Storage
• Acids oxidize and corrode metal.
• Even if metal is coated or painted, a single scratch will break the protected surface and the oxidation begins and spreads rapidly.
FLINN/SCIMATCO® WOODEN ACID CABINETS are manufactured without using any metal components. Our all-wood construction eliminates cabinet corrosion and guarantees years of safe acid storage.
Did You Know?
Did you know that particleboard is made from wood shavings which are glued together and compressed? Did you also know that acids eventually attack the glue that holds the particle- board together?
The pictures below (taken in a Texas high school) depict a metal, epoxy-coated acid cabinet. The cabinet is less than 3 years old.
Extensive Cabinet Interior Damage
Flinn/SciMatCo Acid Cabinets are constructed of 9-ply exte- rior grade, high density plywood (not particleboard) and are covered with Super Chem-TuffTM paint. Exterior grade plywood is extremely durable and cannot be attacked or affected by acids. You will never have a rusting problem with a Flinn/SciMatCo Acid Cabinet.
Oxidation and Destruction of Door
Look at the remarkable metal door destruction! We could not get a good picture of the metal hinges but the owner had to force the door open. Flinn/SciMatCo Acid Cabinets have wooden hinges—not metal! Insist on wooden hinges for durability and long life.
Damage to Metal Shelf Support
Clip is Particularly Dangerous
Since Shelf Collapse Could Result
It won’t be long until this cabinet’s shelf supports corrode through and collapse. Can you imagine that dangerous mess? Get your money’s worth. For long acid cabinet life buy Flinn/SciMatCo Acid Cabinets—they are metal-free!
