Multi-component packing and dispatch

A blend programme usually means three or four actives arriving at one blending house in the same shipment. That is where lot identity is most often lost: containers are repacked, labels are handwritten, and by the time the material reaches the balance nobody can say which drum the certificate belongs to.

The rule that prevents most problems

One container, one lot, one label, and a packing list that names all three. Anything that breaks the chain — a split drum without a sub-label, a repack into a smaller unit, a container reused for a different CAS — costs more to resolve than the packing saved.

What travels with a multi-component shipment

• A certificate per lot, not one certificate for the shipment.
• An SDS per material, as supplied.
• A packing list that matches each container to its lot and its certificate.
• Destination paperwork where the country requires it — planned at enquiry stage rather than at the port.

Segregation in transit

Two actives in the same carton share an atmosphere. Where both are the same class that is usually harmless; where one is a strong attractant used at a fraction of a percent, it is not. Outer packing, sealed inner units and a clear separation between strong and weak actives is cheap insurance against a contamination incident that cannot later be diagnosed.

What to tell us at enquiry stage

How many components, which CAS numbers, what unit sizes your blending house can handle, whether the shipment should arrive as one consignment or staggered to match a production plan, and the destination. Multi-component orders are quoted per component so the comparison with single-component orders stays honest.

Standard fills are listed on each compound page and explained on packing and lead times.
