Classification Details

NMFC Description Class
154860.00 Paving Binder, consisting of plastic, plastic plasticizer and pigment, in separate containers in bags, boxes or drums 60

How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. Pack components in separate, sealed containers: line boxes with poly liners, close drums tightly, and add absorbent pads around plasticizer to prevent weeping.
  2. Palletize for stability: band and stretch-wrap; use corner boards and a top sheet. Avoid overhang and limit stacking on pigment bags to prevent crushing.
  3. Document clearly on the BOL: “Paving Binder—plastic, plasticizer, pigment in separate containers, NMFC 154860, Class 60, Non-hazardous,” and include SDS sheets if available.
  4. Manage environment and compatibility: keep away from foodstuffs and odor-sensitive freight, protect from high heat during summer transit, and mark ‘Do Not Top-Load’ for drums.

Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.

Business Value

  • Fixed Class 60 rating enables predictable quotes and avoids density reclass charges.
  • Non-hazardous status removes hazmat fees and simplifies carrier selection and routing.
  • Separate-container packaging reduces cross-contamination and spill claims, improving delivery quality for paving crews.
  • Flexible packaging options (bags, boxes, drums) let you right-size shipments to weight breaks, lowering LTL costs and handling time.
