    Packing & Storage
    Packing Kathon is packaged in a white, high-density plastic container, 5-liter capacity, featuring hazard labels, product details, and secure screw-top lid.
    Container Loading (20′ FCL) 20′ FCL can load about 16 tons of Kathon chemical, typically packaged in 200kg drums or 1,000kg IBCs, maximizing space efficiency.
    Shipping Kathon should be shipped in tightly sealed, corrosion-resistant containers to prevent leakage and contamination. It must be stored and transported as a hazardous material, protected from sunlight, heat, and incompatible substances. Compliance with local, national, and international regulations—including appropriate labeling and documentation—is essential to ensure safe handling and delivery.
    Storage Kathon should be stored in tightly closed containers made of compatible materials, away from heat, direct sunlight, and sources of ignition. Store it in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, separate from incompatible substances such as strong oxidizers and reducing agents. Ensure containers are properly labeled, and follow all safety guidelines to prevent contamination, leaks, or accidental exposure.
    Shelf Life Kathon has a typical shelf life of 12 months when stored in tightly sealed containers at recommended temperatures, away from direct sunlight.
