How to choose correct packaging of export dangerous goods

With the rapid development of industrial and agricultural production, scientific and technological research and other undertakings, the production and use of chemical dangerous goods is increasing, and their storage, transportation, and export volume have also increased. How to correctly choose dangerous goods packaging is a very important issue for dangerous goods manufacturers. According to the experience of people in the industry, the following points are proposed for your reference.

First, we must attach great importance to the packaging quality of dangerous goods

It is only natural that companies pay attention to product quality. However, as the quality of export dangerous goods packaging should be given high priority. Because poor packaging quality will not only affect the quality of the company's products, affect the company's reputation, but more importantly, in the event of major dangerous accidents, it will cause undue economic losses to enterprises and the country, and damage the credibility of the country. The history lesson in this aspect is painful. For example, in January 1978, 3,411 tons of export rice were loaded on the Jiaxing freighter of the China Shipbuilding Corporation, which was heavily contaminated due to mercury leakage and caused economic losses of more than 1.2 million U.S. dollars. In May of the same year, another ship in China “ Dangerous goods on the cargo ship Ninghua had leaked and ignited on the way, resulting in economic losses of US$1 million. In the previous years, when China’s export of calcium carbide was re-exported in Hong Kong, there was an explosion and so on. None of them were related to the quality of dangerous goods packaging. Therefore, the unit that requires the production of dangerous goods must ideologically attach importance to the quality of dangerous goods packaging, establish the idea of ​​safety first and national interests as the most important thing. At the same time, the relevant personnel of the company should earnestly study the knowledge and relevant laws and regulations regarding the transport of dangerous goods by sea, and constantly improve their own business level.

Second, the correct selection of dangerous goods packaging three points

The relevant personnel of export dangerous goods manufacturers must learn to use the packaging of dangerous goods correctly, should pay attention to the following three aspects: 1. To master the physicochemical properties of the dangerous goods produced by the company, especially the flash point, melting point, ignition point, stability, toxicity, corrosiveness, and radioactivity, and to understand its packaging taboo; 2. Confirm the name of the dangerous goods produced by the unit (ie the chemical name, not its trade name, common name or soil name). Find out the dangerous category of the dangerous goods and the corresponding applicable packaging category from the "International Danger Regulations". It is necessary to go to the manufacturer who has issued a permit for quality packaging of dangerous goods by the Commodity Inspection Bureau to purchase the necessary packaging, and especially pay attention to the purchase of new packaging that is environmentally friendly. If the dangerous goods require the use of plastic packaging containers or dangerous goods packaging containers with inner coating, a six-month compatibility test must be done and the test can be used only after passing the test. The specific approach is: the dangerous goods filled in plastic packaging containers or inner coating packaging containers placed for at least six months, if found inside the quality of the dangerous goods did not change, there is no change in the inner layer of the package, the other appearance has not changed , it shows that the test is qualified.

Third, a reasonable choice of packaging and packaging methods

Packaging methods and packaging methods are of great significance for the normal function of the packaging, so the following three aspects can not be ignored:
1. According to the characteristics of dangerous goods when choosing the packaging, should consider whether the quality of the material and volume and the actual situation is in line with; 2. Regardless of whether it is a liquid or a solid dangerous product, it must have a certain amount of retention capacity during filling. That is, the liquid filling volume must not exceed 98% of the total container volume, and the solids loading volume must not exceed 95%. No matter what filling method is adopted, no dangerous goods shall be leaked, spilled or left behind outside the packaging container, including between the inner and outer packagings of the container; For specific varieties and packaging, safer and more effective packaging methods can be used, such as combination packaging and group packaging. At present, in Kunshan, 2.5 liters of plastic fluorinated bottles (cans) are used to hold pesticides or spices. This is a combination of plastic bottles with inner packaging and fluorinated bottles, and double corrugated cartons for outer packaging. The effect is good. There are also 20 liters of steel buckets for paint (coatings), resins, etc., using a group packaging method, that is, placing 20 liters of steel buckets on the trays, and then strapping them with a plastic film to secure them, so that the operation is more standardized , very much welcomed by the port and port authorities.

Fourth, establish and improve the corresponding rules and regulations

Enterprises that fail to pass ISO9000 international quality certification must use their standards to establish and improve their inspection and management systems for the selection, acceptance, filling, metering, and use of packaging containers. The standardization, in order to form a packaging quality assurance system, so that dangerous goods packaging work in a good state of control.
