NMFC 58660 - Dental Plate Cleaning Compounds | Class 65

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Confirm the product is a dry dental plate cleaning compound and packed in boxes; liquids or gels are rated differently.
2. Weigh each carton and the full pallet accurately; this item ships at a fixed Class 65, so no density calc is needed.
3. Protect against moisture: line inner cartons with poly bags, tape seams, and use shrink wrap to prevent powder leakage.
4. Palletize square to the deck, use corner boards for stack strength, and label cartons with lot/batch if required by your dental distributor.

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

• Class 65 rating helps control LTL costs compared to higher consumer-goods classes, improving margin on dental supply shipments.
• Non-hazardous status avoids hazmat fees and simplifies carrier selection, speeding up booking and transit.
• Clear, weight-based classification reduces reclass disputes and unexpected adjustments, keeping quotes predictable.
• Moisture-safe packaging lowers damage claims on effervescent tablets or powders, preserving customer satisfaction and repeat orders.
