Transport/Storage Information
Packing method: solids can be put into 0.5mm thick steel drums and sealed tightly, and the net weight of each drum shall not exceed 100kg; plastic bags or two-layer kraft paper bags with full opening or middle opening steel drums; threaded glass bottles, iron lids Glass bottles, plastic bottles or metal barrels (cans) outside ordinary wooden boxes; screw-top glass bottles, plastic bottles or tin-plated sheet steel barrels (cans) outside full-bottomed lattice boxes, fiberboard boxes or plywood boxes; tin-plated sheet steel barrels (cans), metal drums (cans), plastic bottles or metal hoses outside corrugated boxes.
Storage Precautions: Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated warehouse. Keep away from fire and heat sources. The humidity in the warehouse is preferably not more than 85%. The packaging must be sealed and must not get wet. It should be stored separately from combustibles, acids, etc., and should not be stored together. Storage areas should be provided with suitable materials to contain spills.
Transportation Precautions: When transporting by rail, steel drums can be transported in gondolas. The packaging should be complete and the loading should be secure at the time of shipment. During transportation, make sure that the container does not leak, collapse, fall or be damaged. It is strictly forbidden to mix and transport with flammable or combustible materials, acids, edible chemicals, etc. The transport vehicle shall be equipped with leakage emergency treatment equipment during transportation.
