Shipping moisture-sensitive Chemical products necessitates tight-closing drums or jerricans, foil or poly liners, and moisture absorbers inside cartons or overpacks. It is important to indicate “Keep Dry” on labels and booking notes and Avoid open or vented storage and transit equipment where humidity can build up.
For most regulated Industrial chemicals, UN-certified packaging must be used when shipping by road, sea, or air.
