4. Packaging, Storage & Ocean Shipping Transportation

Packaging Standard

Standard export packaging: 160kg/iron drum (galvanized iron drum, sealed and leak-proof). Customized packaging (IBC tank, bulk tank shipment) is available according to customer demands. All packages are equipped with standard international chemical labels, hazard marks, and product traceability information.

Storage Requirements

Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated professional chemical warehouse, away from fire sources, heat sources, and strong oxidants. Keep containers tightly sealed to prevent volatilization and moisture ingress. Strictly prohibit open flames, smoking, and static electricity generation in the storage area. Separate from oxidants, acids, and food chemicals for classified storage. The storage environment requires explosion-proof facilities and regular safety inspection to ensure long-term storage stability.
