Facts
Origin Product flow is generally as follows:
  • textiles/fabrics in general: East Asian states to Europe, within the EU depending on wage differentials
  • industrial textiles/fabrics: exchange between virtually all states
Stowage factor (in m3/t)
  • 1.14 - 6.50 m³/t (bales)
  • 1.51 - 7.44 m³/t (boxes)
  • 3.30 - 4.25 m³/t (cartons)
Humidity / moisture
  • Relative humidity: 65 - 70%
  • Water content: 7.85 - 8.50% (cotton fabric)
  • Maximum equilibrium moisture content: 70%
Ventilation Recommended ventilation conditions: air exchange rate: 6 changes/hour (airing), if the dew point of the external air is lower than the dew point of the hold air.
Risk factors The goods are liable to catch fire. All smoking is prohibited. It is recommended that CO2 be used to extinguish fires. Sensitive to wet damage.
