Transporting moisture-sensitive Chemical products necessitates tight-closing drums or jerricans, Barrier liners or overbags, and drying agents inside cartons or overpacks. Shippers should also indicate “Keep Dry” on labels and booking notes and steer clear of open or vented storage and transit equipment where humidity can build up.
For most regulated chemical products, UN-certified packaging must be used when shipping by road, sea, or air. The specific UN packaging code and performance level Depend on the product’s hazard class and packing group shown on the SDS. Be sure to confirm with your dangerous goods specialist or carrier whether your Specialty chemicals are fully regulated, limited quantity, or exempt before selecting packaging.
Most industrial chemicals shipments Require a DG shipping paper, the latest SDS, and complete labels and markings that Match the classification. Our team recommends 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 sometimes consolidate different Specialty 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 properly separated. Use physical barriers and clear labeling when combining multiple hazard classes.
Because industrial chemicals can cause Costly cleanup if leaks occur, enhanced freight insurance is advisable. Review your policy to confirm that dangerous goods and specialty chemicals are not excluded, and that coverage covers contamination, disposal, and emergency response costs where applicable.
