Carbon Black

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.

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.

Reference is made to the relevant IMO publications of hazardous cargo.
