Classification Details

NMFC Description Class
88790.00 Glue Base, consisting of oil cake meal, lime and soda ash, in bags 60

How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. Write the full item name and NMFC on the BOL: Glue base, oil cake meal, lime and soda ash, in bags, NMFC 88790, Class 60, non-hazardous.
  2. Palletize bagged product on 40x48 pallets, brick-stack the sacks, use corner boards and stretch wrap, and add a moisture barrier top sheet to keep the lime blend dry.
  3. Keep bags off the floor and away from humid areas; request a dry van and note Keep Dry to prevent clumping or caking from moisture exposure.
  4. Inspect and re-bag any torn sacks to control dust from lime or soda ash; consider poly-lined kraft bags to minimize fines and protect adjacent freight.

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

Business Value

  • Fixed Class 60 rating means no density calculation, enabling faster quotes and fewer reclass surprises.
  • Lower class compared to finished adhesives translates to friendlier LTL rates for bulk ingredient moves.
  • Non-hazardous status avoids hazmat fees and opens more carrier options, improving pickup flexibility and transit choices.
  • Bagged, palletized format speeds cross-docks and reduces spill cleanup costs, lowering claims risk and operational downtime.
