Moving moisture-sensitive Chemical products demands Sealed primary containers, foil or poly liners, and Desiccants 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.
