It is always a preferred policy to use non-combustible (metal) shelving in the event of an external fire.

Subject: [DCHAS-L] Chemical storage shelves
Hello all!
I am tasked with finding stand-alone shelving to store our solid chemicals for an advanced organic synthesis lab. I have been looking for information on what materials are best, but have found very little on it. We are considering any materials: wood, steel, etc. Does anyone have any experience with this? Safety and the longevity of the shelves are the important factors.
Thanks in advance!
