Classification Details

NMFC Description Class
33600.00 Air Entraining Agents, consisting of saponified waste resin compound:

How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. State the commodity clearly on the BOL: “Air Entraining Agents, saponified waste resin compound, non-hazmat — NMFC 33600,” and list package type and count (e.g., 4 drums on 1 pallet).
  2. Use tight-head HDPE pails/drums or IBC totes with tamper-evident closures; add liners and absorbent pads for single pail parcels to prevent leaks during LTL handling.
  3. Protect from freezing to avoid separation or performance changes; request the “Protect from Freezing” accessorial during winter lanes and label pallets accordingly.
  4. Palletize with full top deck coverage, corner boards, and stretch wrap or drum rings; note stack limits (e.g., Do Not Double Stack) and include accurate dims and weights if the carrier rates by density or FAK.

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

Business Value

  • Non-hazardous profile avoids hazmat paperwork and surcharges, lowering total landed cost for concrete admixture shipments.
  • Precise NMFC identification (33600) reduces reclass fees and dispute risk, improving invoice accuracy and cash flow predictability.
  • Durable packaging and clear handling marks cut OS&D claims and cleanup liabilities, preserving carrier relationships and service levels.
  • Standard pail/drum/tote formats optimize pallet cube and loading efficiency, enabling better consolidation with other building materials.
