Shipping: not dangerous goods
Our glow pigments are not dangerous goods – neither by road and rail (ADR/RID), inland waterway (ADN), sea (IMDG) nor air freight (ICAO/IATA). They are not a marine pollutant. No dangerous goods labelling or special dangerous goods documents are therefore required for shipping.
We supply everything from samples to bulk quantities in large containers.
Customs: tariff number 3206 50 00
The safety data sheet gives the customs tariff number 3206 50 00 – inorganic products of a kind used as luminophores. This makes the import declaration easier.
Note for importersThe tariff classification is ultimately decided by the competent customs authority in the country of import. The information in the safety data sheet is guidance, not binding tariff information.
Storage
- Keep containers tightly closed.
- Store cool, dry and well ventilated.
- Protect from frost, heat, moisture and UV radiation.
- Keep away from strong oxidising and reducing agents, acids and alkalis.
- Storage class 10–13 according to German TRGS 510.
- Shelf life more than 24 months.
Once processed, the pigment is hydrolysis-resistant thanks to its SiO₂ coating. The storage instructions refer to the loose powder in its container.
Water and environment
The material is not hazardous to water (German AwSV, ID no. 1957). It is inorganic, insoluble in water and other solvents, and not biodegradable.
Disposal
Waste code 06 03 14 (solid salts and solutions), packaging 15 01 06.
Handling in production
When handling large quantities of powder, avoid dust formation and extract dust at source. Dust goggles are recommended and – if the limit value is exceeded – respiratory protection with a P2/P3 particle filter. The general dust limit according to German TRGS 900 applies.
