Moving moisture-sensitive Chemical products demands high-integrity packaging, Barrier liners or overbags, and moisture absorbers inside cartons or overpacks. Shippers should also clearly note “Keep Dry” on labels and booking notes and steer clear of open or vented storage and transit equipment where humidity can build up.
