Eucalyptus Oil
Contents
Description
A resinous oil extracted from the Australian blue gum tree. Usually shipped in used drums in small quantities. Has a penetrating odor and the oil may render a container unfit for subsequent cargoes. The container floor must be sheathed in heavy duty plastic which stretches up the side panels and is taped in position.
Before packing into containers the packages should be carefully inspected for signs of leakage. Surface contaminated packages should be refused for shipment. When consolidating into containers with other cargo special attention should be paid to the susceptibility of other cargo.
Eucalyptus oil can also be carried in tank containers or flexi-bags placed inside 20 ft GP containers. It is important that the correct bag material is selected as this oil attacks certain materials.
