NMFC 50070 - Antifreezing Compounds | Class 60-65

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Verify the formulation (glycol, alcohol blend, or inhibitor mix) and consult the SDS to confirm hazmat status, UN/NA ID, and marking. Apply required hazmat labels and orientation arrows on each box.
2. Liquids: tighten closures to spec, add a sealed poly liner and sufficient absorbent for full contents, and use UN-rated fiberboard boxes if regulated. Dry compounds: line boxes with moisture barrier and seal all seams.
3. Capture true scale weights per carton and for the full shipment. Use NMFC 50070 weight breaks to select Class 60 vs 65; if close to a break, consolidate boxes to qualify for the lower class.
4. Palletize upright with no overhang; wrap and band for stability. Segregate from oxidizers, strong acids, and foodstuffs, and print NMFC 50070 on the BOL for clean rating.

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

• Weight-based rating can move larger shipments to Class 60, lowering LTL charges; strategic carton consolidation increases savings without changing packaging.
• NOI coverage for both dry and liquid compounds reduces reclass risk across product variants and streamlines contracting and item setup.
• Hazmat-ready packaging and documentation avert carrier refusals, spill claims, and delays, improving on-time performance and reducing accessorials.
• Clear identification of NMFC 50070 speeds carrier rating and auditing, minimizing reweigh/reclass disputes and back-office costs.
