Shipping moisture-sensitive specialty chemicals necessitates tight-closing drums or jerricans, vapor-barrier wraps, and Desiccants inside cartons or overpacks. Shippers should also indicate “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, UN-rated packaging must be used when shipping by road, sea, or air. The specific UN packaging code and performance level are determined by the product’s hazard class and packing group shown on the SDS. Always confirm with your dangerous goods specialist or carrier whether your industrial chemicals are fully regulated, limited quantity, or exempt before selecting packaging.
Most Chemical goods shipments need a DG shipping paper, the latest SDS, and complete labels and markings that correspond to the classification. We recommend including emergency contact details, handling instructions (e.g., “Keep Dry,” “Do Not Stack”), and any licenses required by local authorities for specific chemical goods.
You Can often consolidate different industrial chemicals, but only if regulatory separation requirements are met. First review the SDS and relevant ADR/IMDG/IATA tables to ensure acids, bases, oxidizers, flammables, and other Chemical goods Are not stored or loaded together. Use physical barriers and clear labeling when combining multiple hazard classes.
Because Chemical products can cause environmental damage if leaks occur, enhanced freight insurance is advisable. Carefully review your policy to confirm that dangerous goods and Chemical goods are not excluded, and that coverage covers contamination, disposal, and emergency response costs where applicable.
When shipping chemicals by ocean, it is essential to ensure that all products are properly packaged and labeled according to international regulations. Additionally, specific handling requirements may be necessary based on the type of chemicals being transported, including temperature control and segregation from incompatible materials.
