NMFC 172160 - Rubber Preservative, NOI | Class 70

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Use sturdy double‑wall boxes with a poly liner for powders, flakes, or granules; tape all seams to contain fine dust and add a moisture barrier if the product can absorb humidity.
2. Palletize on 40x48 pallets with no overhang. Stack boxes in columns, add edge protectors and a top cap, then stretch‑wrap tightly to prevent shifting during LTL transfers.
3. Document clearly on the BOL: “Rubber Preservative, NOI — NMFC 172160, Class 70.” Attach an SDS or product sheet to answer carrier questions even though it’s non‑hazardous.
4. Shipping in drums? Confirm acceptance under this listing before tender. Keep bungs tight, ship upright, and request “no‑stack” if drums are lightweight or partially filled.

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

• Predictable pricing: fixed Class 70 means no density math and fewer reclass surprises when quoting or auditing LTL bills.
• Broader carrier options: non‑hazardous status typically avoids hazmat fees and opens standard service lanes for faster pickups.
• Lower claim risk: boxed, unitized freight with proper labels reduces OS&D issues and shortens dock dwell time at cross‑dock terminals.
• Cleaner paperwork flow: a precise NOI description and NMFC 172160 on the BOL speeds inspections and minimizes chargeable corrections.
