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 clearly note “Keep Dry” on labels and booking notes and Avoid 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 industrial chemicals are fully regulated, limited quantity, or exempt before selecting packaging.

You can sometimes consolidate different Specialty chemicals, but only if regulatory separation requirements are met.
