NMFC 50244 - Mold Release, Non‑Petroleum | Class 60

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Confirm the compound is non‑petroleum and pack in sturdy, leak‑resistant boxes; if supplied in a pail or small drum, overpack inside a corrugated box to maintain this classification.
2. Weigh each handling unit (the boxed shipment) and list NMFC 50244, Class 60 on the BOL; this item is weight‑based, so no density calculation is needed.
3. Use liners and absorbent pads inside boxes to prevent seepage; seal lids, tape seams, and strap to pallets with no overhang for clean LTL handling.
4. Include the SDS and a clear description (e.g., “non‑petroleum mold release compound”); manage temperature as needed for water‑based or silicone blends to avoid thickening or leaks.

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

• Class 60, weight‑based rating delivers predictable LTL costs and can price favorably versus higher‑class chemicals.
• Non‑hazardous status eliminates hazmat surcharges and speeds carrier acceptance, shortening tender‑to‑pickup time.
• Single NMFC covers mold release and die lubricants, reducing reclass risk and simplifying routing guides across molding and die‑casting sites.
• Tight boxing and palletizing cut leakage claims and accessorials (cleanup, rewrap), protecting margins and customer SLAs.
