Fire-rated buildings for storing chemicals

| By Gerald Ondrey

The new Rack Fire Protect (RFP) buildings (photo) are fire-rated for 2 h at 2,192°F (1,000°C), minimizing the risk of fire spreading within the workplace. Designed in Germany and proven in hundreds of installations worldwide, they are now manufactured in the U.S. for North American installations. The buildings provide safe and legally compliant storage of flammable and corrosive chemicals. Adjustable racking provides the flexibility to store up to forty-eight drums or twelve intermediate-bulk containers (IBCs). Single or double-tiered designs keep dangerous chemicals organized and correctly separated. RFP buildings are built in accordance with FM Approval 6049, NFPA, OSHA, EPA-CFR 40, NBCC, NFCC and ETA/21/0642. — Denios, Inc. Louisville, Ky.
