A Guide to Shipping Chemicals Safely with Corrugated Industrial Chemical Packaging
Shipping chemicals domestically involves risks that need to be carefully managed to ensure safe transportation and handling. Shipping needs to be managed with great care to minimize risk — if improperly stored or packaged, these substances could cause serious harm and damage. Title 49 code of federal regulations controls the shipping, handling, and labeling protocols of hazardous materials. It is critical that your industrial chemical packaging design eliminates damage in transit, is safe to handle, and clearly communicates warnings.
If you are looking to minimize risk while delivering chemicals from A to B, we have numerous industrial packaging services and box types to ensure success.
What Products are Considered Hazardous?
Depending on the class, different regulations apply to the shipping, handling, packaging, and labeling of hazardous products. Before shipping your products, you need to check whether your chemical substances qualify as a hazardous good, and if so the type.
Common classifications include flammable liquids such as acetone, perfume, and ethanol, chemicals that combust when exposed to oxygen, corrosive substances (which can be liquid or solid), explosives including fireworks and live ammunition, any gas that has been compressed, and flammable solids. Understanding the type of product you are shipping can help you identify the industrial chemical packaging you need — and the partner that can deliver.
