Shipping moisture-sensitive chemical goods necessitates high-integrity packaging, foil or poly liners, and Desiccants inside cartons or overpacks. You should also clearly note “Keep Dry” on labels and booking notes and not use open or vented storage and transit equipment where humidity can build up.
For most regulated Industrial chemicals, tested and approved packaging must be used when shipping by road, sea, or air. The applicable UN packaging code and performance level are based on the product’s hazard class and packing group shown on the SDS.
