Description
A sooty substance liable to spontaneous combustion packed in bags or barrels.
Used as a filler and reinforcing agent in plastic and rubber products. Extremely fine smoke-like powder
which remains suspended in air and penetrates thin paper or textiles. Finely divided powder is
spontaneously combustible.
Certain types of Carbon black are not subject to the provisions of the IMDG books if they pass the
self-heating test described on page 4225 of the Code. They should be certified as such and a copy of
the test certificate should accompany the cargo.
Charcoal is also offered for shipment in bulk, however if classified as class 4.2 this is prohibited. and
is a dangerous cargo
When offered for shipment in bulk in containers, due consideration must be given to the risks of
container contamination and the attendant cleaning costs. Special stowage instructions apply
including the fitting of an inner liner which sheathes all surfaces within the container. Spillage and
contamination to be avoided. Cleaning possibilities very poor.
See IMDG books in class 4.2 under Carbon, animal or vegetable origin.
