What are solvents?
Solvents can be found in almost every industry and manufacturer. In Latin, the term “solvent” means to “loosen up.” Many pharmaceutical, dry cleaning, agriculture and dry cleaners use these chemical compounds to dissolve or extract other chemicals without compromising the makeup of the parent product. Painters also use solvents for quick application and to streamline operations that can be stymied by clogged sprayers and coagulated, or hardened finishes. Solvents are also a powerful cleaner and be found wherever grease tends to gunk up the works, including car garages and machine shops. You don’t have to look far to find a solvent in your home either. Most varnishes, markers and glues contain chemical solvents.
U.S. Hazmat Rentals outdoor storage lockers can isolate and safeguard dangerous solvents
Many dangerous chemicals, such as solvents require storage in a climate controlled liquid warehouse that meet a designated setback. Millions of people are exposed to solvents on a daily basis. According to OSHA, thousands of people have experienced illness and injuries to their respiratory systems, skin and other vital organs. Increased risks of cancer and irreversible damage to the central nervous system are synonymous with improper storage, too. Solvents are also notorious accomplices to fires worldwide that have rendered workers permanently disable and maimed. Remain compliant with solvent storage by investing in guaranteed steel protection and outdoor storage lockers from U.S. Hazmat Rentals.
Contain leaks before catastrophe ensues
Special care must be given to liquid hazardous materials, such as solvents. If not stored properly, breakdown of the chemical composition of liquid materials can render the hazardous materials ineffective and could potentially lead to dangerous inhalation in the event of fire. Spills are almost impossible to completely prevent. With this knowledge in mind, U.S. Hazmat Rentals has engineered a grated floor spill sump containment system. If spills do happen, these underlying tanks can collect the hazardous materials until safely removed. Our outdoor storage lockers are designed for the highest safety in outdoor chemical storage. Built from only the strongest, finest 12 gauge steel, these chemical storage lockers are the most effective way to protect your chemical inventory in an outdoor environment. These storage lockers are easy to transport with the use of a forklift and feature heavy-duty lock security for the highest chemical storage protection. These lockers also feature a built-in sump, designed and tested to ensure that no chemical leaks or spills will enter the environment.
