Corrosive Materials Signs

Corrosive signs go on chemical cabinets, drum storage racks and the doors of rooms where acids or caustic cleaners are kept. Plant maintenance crews, pool supply shops and school science prep rooms use them to warn people before they open a container or reach a shelf.

Where corrosive materials signs are used

Spa technicians, plating shops and water treatment crews put this sign on the door of an acid room, on the front of a chemical cabinet, and on the rack where drums of caustic cleaner stand. Dairy plants and breweries hang them beside a clean-in-place tank pad, where a caustic solution is pumped through the lines. The word CORROSIVE tells a new worker to read the label before touching a container.

Choosing the size and where to hang it

Mount it on the cabinet door or the wall above the rack, at about eye level and clear of the container itself. The 24 in x 18 in size suits a cabinet front, and the 36 in x 24 in size is the choice for a wide rack wall or a tank pad fence. Aluminum with corner holes suits a damp room or an outdoor pad, since it is rust-free. Plastic is light and works on a dry cabinet door with brass grommets and zip ties.

Questions about corrosive materials signs

Where should a corrosive materials sign go?

Put it on the door of the room, or on the cabinet or rack that holds the material, at eye level and where people read it before they open anything. Your safety officer or the safety data sheet for each chemical decides which spots need a sign, so check those first.

Danger or Warning: which header fits?

Danger (red) means the hazard will cause death or serious injury. Warning (orange) means it could. Your safety officer or the safety data sheet for your chemicals sets the level, so match the header to that rule before ordering.

Can I add a room number or phone number?

Yes. Type a room number, company name or after-hours phone number into the optional extra line. The live preview shows exactly how the finished sign will look while you type.

Can I name the chemical on the sign?

The printed lines name the hazard in general. The optional extra line is where a product name or a room number goes, such as 'Drain cleaner' or 'Room 4'. Keep it short, and check your state and local rules for the labels and storage setup that apply to your chemicals.

Do I need a second sign for a storage shelf?

One sign on the door is often enough, but a shelf or rack that holds different materials may need a sign at each spot. Leave a gap between signs so each one is read separately. Use the optional extra line to say which rack or shelf the sign covers.
