Hazardous Packaging Solutions Tailored
for Safety & Compliance

In the realm of transporting dangerous goods, adhering to stringent regulations is not just best practice—it’s imperative. Hazpak stands at the forefront of providing industry-leading hazardous packaging solutions that meet and exceed the rigorous standards set forth by regulatory bodies, including the United Nations (UN) and the South African Civil Aviation Authority (CAA).

UN Approved Packaging: The Gold Standard in Safety

Our array of hazardous packaging solutions includes UN approved combination and single packaging options, meticulously crafted to ensure your dangerous goods are transported safely and efficiently.

Premier UN Approved 4GV Fibreboard Boxes

The UN approved 4GV fibreboard boxes, embodies the pinnacle of packaging safety. Designed to cater to Packing Group I Standards, these boxes are specifically engineered to contain hazardous materials that present a significant degree of risk.

Certified as 4GV “special packaging”, they permit the use of various non-tested inner packaging, offering unparalleled flexibility without compromising on safety. The double-walled construction, reinforced with staples instead of glue, ensures unmatched strength and durability through rigorous testing standards.

Innovative
UN Approved Jerricans

Complementing our fibreboard boxes, our 25 litre plastic Jerricans benefit from an advanced fluorination process. This sophisticated treatment plays a crucial role in mitigating a host of risks traditionally associated with the transportation of hazardous materials. By preventing container panelling and distortion, substantially reducing chemical permeation, and effectively enhancing the container’s integrity, fluorination addresses key challenges head-on. Furthermore, this process significantly curtails weight loss, odour emission, and either flavour or fragrance loss, ensuring that the contents remain unaltered and secure during transit.

The surfaces of plastics and other materials are exposed to elemental fluorine under strictly controlled conditions of time, temperature, and pressure. During this process, hydrogen atoms on the material’s surface are replaced with fluorine atoms, creating a permanent fluorocarbon barrier on all exposed surfaces. The result is a remarkable reduction in solvent and chemical permeation by up to 1000 times.

This transformation allows our fluorinated 25 litre plastic Jerricans to replace glass, metal, or more costly plastic resin containers as a safe, cost-effective alternative without sacrificing quality or safety.

Measuring at 280(L) x 280(W) x 460(H)mm, our Jerricans provide a reliable, compliant solution for your hazardous packaging needs, ensuring your materials are not just secure, but their integrity is maintained from point A to B.

The Critical Importance of Declaring Dangerous Goods: A Lesson from a Lithium Battery Fire.

A fire ignited by improperly packed and declared lithium batteries underscores the grave dangers of mishandling dangerous goods. Lithium batteries, crucial for their power yet volatile, exemplify the need for meticulous handling to prevent dangerous fires. Such incidents highlight not only immediate safety threats but also broader implications for public safety, environmental welfare, and legal compliance.

Transporting hazardous materials without accurate declaration and secure packaging poses serious safety risks and can lead to regulatory breaches. Hazpak provides expert guidance through our highly experienced and trained consultants regarding the correct documentation required, supported by appropriate UN-approved packaging solutions. This ensures the safe and compliant transport of dangerous goods, helping to mitigate risks and uphold safety standards.
