Standard Packages

We offer a variety of packaging options for both liquid and solid initiators. All products accepted for transport are assigned to generic entry numbers according to classification principles as described in the recommendations by the United Nations Committee of Experts on the Transport of Dangerous Goods.

In addition to the standard packages listed below we also supply organic peroxides in a wide range of bottles, tubes and sachets to the thermoset industry.

The maximum package size for each initiator is regulated by the United Nations, based on the hazard classification of the peroxide.

Package sizes expressed in gallons are only available in North America.
