Packing is meant to protect both humans and the environment.
Products must be packed in an appropriate way to allow for
proper shipping , storage and use by the customer. Prior to
issuing a product on the market, numerous checks are carried out
to ensure stability for primary packing and reagent quality over
a prolonged storage period after shipping.
Concerning hazardous substances shipping, BIOCHEM CHEMOPHARMA
packing technicians continually check and optimize packing so as
to be provided with relevant authorizations (=N° UN). The
following criteria are taken into account :
 Meeting all safety requirements,
Meeting quality requirements, even after prolonged storage,
No interaction between packing material and packed substance,
No unalloyed reagent contamination,
Practical packing,
Environmental friendly packing.
Relevant packing and reference order explanations follow :
 
2.5 L, 5 L, 10 L and 25 L PEHD containers are used for acids,
bases and aqueous solutions. These come in black colour when
light-sensitive products are involved. Connecting and sampling
are also available.
Aluminum flasks are used in part for some solvents as
unbreakable packing.
Benefit : 100% leak free.
As glass is inert matter, it is fit for use with corrodents.
Glass flasks come in brown colour, which will help protect
light-sensitive products. Being watertight and impervious to
vapour, they allow for great stability and henceforth prolonged
storage. They are fitted with an S 28 or S 40 sealing system.
Glass flasks for solids are fitted with an S 60 or S 85 sealing
system. Benefit: optimal imperviousness, pressure stability.
Glass flasks are shipped in UN cases with adapted inner casings
(polystyrene or corrugated cardboard).
Most plastic flasks are made of high density polyethylene (PE HD).
They are partly tinted to allow for protection against UV rays
(white for solid substances and black for liquids). Thanks to
their inbuilt grip, 2,5L and 5L PE flasks for liquids are easy
to handle when working with contents.
Flasks intended to hold liquids are fitted with an S 40 closing
system from 250 ml packing, flasks intended to hold solid
substances are fitted with a large opening to allow for more
convenient sampling (S 85 closing system).
25 L and 190 L disposable metal drums come with corrosion-resistant
product-compatible inner coating. They are mainly used for
organic solvents.
10 L, 25 L and 190 L stainless steel drums are used to store «unalloyed»
organic solvents, «for synthesis» and «for analysis». Benefit :
perennial service packing, optimal draining using specific
sampling techniques. It is advisable to upturn the containers as
soon as they have been emptied.
 
200 L PEHD plastic drums are fit to hold any acid substances,
aqueous solutions
and bases and are fitted with ¾ or 2-inch openings. A great
variety of sampling systems are adaptable to them. Benefit :
easy sampling, optimal draining.
Fiber pad drums are Kraft paper packing items fitted with
several layers for solid substances averaging a volume of 30 -
200 L. The bottom and the top are made of other material such as
wood or metal.
To be noted : low weight, great stability.
