US CHEMICAL STORAGE SOLUTIONS FOR THE
AEROSPACE & AIRLINE INDUSTRY
The aerospace and aircraft industry is one of the most technically demanding sectors, with stringent standards for storing and handling chemicals and hazardous materials.
From aircraft manufacturing and maintenance to space exploration and defense applications, the safe management of aerospace chemical storage is crucial to ensuring product quality, regulatory compliance, and the safety of both workers and the environment.
With a portfolio that spans aerospace manufacturers, defense contractors, research institutions, and aircraft maintenance facilities, U.S. Chemical Storage has the expertise to meet the industry’s stringent requirements.
The aerospace sector uses a wide variety of chemicals and hazardous materials. We specialize in storing and managing these substances, including:
- Solvents – Used for degreasing, cleaning, and surface preparation.
- Lubricants – Essential for the smooth operation of aircraft and spacecraft machinery and moving parts.
- Chemical Reagents – Used in composite fabrication, metal treatment, and chemical reactions.
- Composites & Resins – Advanced materials essential for aircraft structures, utilized in 3D printing, etching, and tooling.
- Gases – Employed in welding, cutting, and as propellants for aerospace applications.
- Batteries – Lithium-ion and lead-acid batteries used in aircraft systems and ground support equipment.
We Can Make Your Process Easier
- NDAs – At U.S. Chemical Storage, we are proud to work with the innovators of this industry who are changing the world and our future. We fully understand that non-disclosure agreements are common and necessary.
- Security – It’s essential to this sector, and having a pre-fabricated building solution means a significantly reduced time for crews on site when compared to a traditionally constructed building.
- Safety Excellence – Due to the intense focus on safety for the industry, Aerospace facilities have strict protocols and comprehensive emergency response plans for dealing with chemical spills, fires, and other hazardous material incidents. Prefabricated Chemical Storage Buildings like those from U.S. Chemical Storage can accelerate emergency response time and mitigate the damage should a fire even occur.
- CapEx Approval Information – Assisting with budget planning and project justification for capital expenditures.
- GA Drawing Revisions – Customizing general arrangement designs to meet specific client requirements.
- State Permitting – Navigating compliance with local, federal, and international regulations.
- Stamped Plans – Providing certified engineering documentation for construction and regulatory approval.
- Transportation Coordination – Managing logistics for the safe delivery of storage units to your facility.

Our Signature Products
FIRE-RATED BUILDINGS
Fire-rated hazmat storage buildings safely manage risks when storing the most dangerous flammable and hazardous chemicals. With 2-hour or 4-hour construction available, they can offer all the protection required.
NON-FIRE RATED BUILDINGS
All U.S. Chemical Storage non-fire rated hazmat buildings are perfect when the chemicals don’t require a fire rating, or you have space to distance the hazards from your people and property.
CHEMICAL LOCKERS
U.S. Chemical Storage engineers outdoor storage lockers with sumps to provide a quick, safe, and compliant solution to drum storage for 2 drums – to 16 drums.
EXPLOSIVE MAGAZINES
When dealing with explosives, magazines are essential for ATF regulations. We offer a wide variety of Type 2, Type 3, and Type 4 explosive magazine storage solutions to prevent disasters and avoid fines. Custom builds available.
Charlie A. - Sr. Process Specialist
“Your suggestions, ideas, and help allowed us to arrive at three buildings that are working very well for us. Not only have the U.S. Chemical Storage buildings relieved some of the floor space in our facility but it allowed us to organize the systems we installed in the new storage buildings in a very orderly manner that meets the local codes and allows for easy deliveries as well.”
