Class 8 Corrosive Metal

Class 8 Corrosive Metals are hazardous substances that can cause severe damage to metals, materials, and human tissue through chemical reactions. These substances commonly include acids, alkalis, caustics, sodium hydroxide solutions, and hypochlorite solutions used in industrial, laboratory, and maintenance environments. Because of their highly reactive nature, Class 8 corrosives must be stored in dedicated dangerous goods cabinets to minimise the risk of leaks, spills, and chemical exposure.

Class 8 Corrosive storage cabinets are designed to safely contain corrosive chemicals while complying with Australian Standard AS3780 for the storage and handling of corrosive substances. Typically constructed with durable double-walled steel, self-closing doors, adjustable shelving, and liquid-tight spill containment sumps, these cabinets help prevent chemical damage and improve workplace safety while ensuring secure, compliant storage of corrosive materials.
