Tbilisi-based B2B chemical supplier
Quality & Safety
Working with industrial chemicals safely starts with correct product identification and access to the right documentation. This page summarizes the UN hazard classification, packing group, and general handling considerations for products in the Petrol Chemical range, based on the technical data sheets and, where available, safety data sheets we have on file.

Documentation
As a chemical supplier with technical data sheets available on request, and as a TDS and SDS chemical company more broadly, Petrol Chemical treats SDS and TDS documentation as a standard part of every product inquiry rather than an optional extra. Buyers can submit an SDS request chemical supplier inquiry, a technical data sheet request, or a broader MSDS request at any stage of their evaluation.
For buyers who need a UN classified chemical supplier for a specific shipment, or who are looking for chemical shipping classification support and corrosive chemical supplier documentation more generally, we aim to act as a chemical safety compliance supplier by making the classification data on file available up front, summarized in the hazard classification table below.
Chemical hazard classification determines how a product must be packaged, labeled, stored, and transported, and it directly affects the chemical PPE requirements a workplace should apply when handling it. Buyers conducting supplier due diligence typically compare a product's UN hazard classification, packing group, and safety data sheet against their own facility's storage capabilities, import regulations, and internal risk assessments before placing an order.
As an industrial chemical safety documentation resource, this page is intended to support that review. For a hazardous chemical supplier documentation request, or where you are acting as a dangerous goods chemical supplier yourself and need to confirm our classifications against your own compliance records, our team can share the relevant SDS and TDS documentation for the specific product and grade you need.
Why Hazard Classification Matters
Understanding the Terms
Technical Data Sheet (TDS)
Describes product properties, specification, and intended use. A TDS does not always include a full transport or dangerous goods classification — check the SDS/MSDS for that.
Class 5.1 – Oxidizing Substance
Often referred to simply as an oxidizing substance class 5.1 hazard, this may not burn on its own but can intensify the combustion of other materials. Requires separation from flammable and organic substances during storage and transport.
Class 8 – Corrosive Substance
Frequently labeled a corrosive substance class 8 hazard, this can damage skin, eyes, metals, or other materials on contact. Requires corrosion-resistant packaging and appropriate personal protective equipment.
UN Number
Indicates a medium degree of hazard and determines transport packaging requirements. Packing Group II requirements are stricter than Packing Group III.
Packing Group II
Indicates a medium degree of hazard and determines transport packaging requirements. Packing Group II requirements are stricter than Packing Group III.
Packing Group III
Indicates a relatively lower degree of hazard for transport packaging purposes, though the product is still considered a regulated dangerous good
How to Request
SDS / TDS
Documentation
Where a Safety Data Sheet (SDS/MSDS) or Technical Data Sheet (TDS) exists for a product in our range, it can be requested through the Documentation Center or by contacting our team directly with the product name. Not every document is necessarily available for every product at all times; availability is confirmed on a per-inquiry basis.
When submitting an SDS request or TDS request, include the exact product name, the grade or concentration if known, and your intended use or destination, so the documentation shared matches your specific requirement.
General Handling, Storage and PPE Guidance
General handling, storage, and PPE guidance for the products in our range should always be confirmed against the specific SDS for that product, since requirements vary by hazard class and by local regulation. Chemical handling and storage practices, and the chemical compliance documentation to support them, typically call for chemical-resistant PPE, corrosion-resistant packaging and storage areas, and separation from incompatible materials for Hazard Class 8 corrosive products in our range, such as Caustic Soda Flakes, Sodium Hypochlorite, Ferric Chloride, LABSA, and Sodium Sulfide.
Oxidizing substances in Hazard Class 5.1, such as Calcium Hypochlorite, typically require storage away from flammable or organic materials to reduce fire risk. This website content provides general context only and does not substitute for professional, legal, regulatory, or safety consultation specific to your facility, process, or jurisdiction.
Transport and Shipping Documentation
Several products in our range carry a UN number and are classified as dangerous goods for transport purposes, as shown in the table above. For these products, chemical transport documentation, labeling, and packaging must meet the applicable ADR (road), IMDG (sea), or IATA (air) requirements for the relevant mode and route.
For products noted as "not classified" or "requires confirmation" in the table, this reflects what is documented in the TDS/MSDS on file at the time of writing; classification can still depend on the exact grade, concentration, packaging, or shipping route, so we recommend confirming transport status directly with us and your carrier before booking a shipment.
Common Buyer Questions
About Safety and Documentation
Submit a request through the Documentation Center or contact our team with the product name and, where known, the grade or concentration you need. We will confirm which SDS or TDS documents are available for that product.
UN hazard classification is a system of numbers and hazard classes used to identify dangerous goods for transport, labeling, and documentation purposes, based on the type and degree of hazard a substance presents.
Packing Group II indicates a medium degree of hazard, while Packing Group III indicates a relatively lower degree of hazard. Both are regulated for transport, but Packing Group II carries stricter packaging requirements.
Caustic Soda Flakes, Ferric Chloride Solution, LABSA, Sodium Hypochlorite 15–16%, and Sodium Sulfide 60% are documented as Class 8 corrosive substances, based on their respective TDS/MSDS.
Class 8 corrosive chemicals generally require corrosion-resistant packaging, dedicated storage areas, and separation from incompatible materials; the specific requirements should always be confirmed against the current SDS for that product.
Yes. Caustic Soda Flakes carries UN 1823 and is classified as a Class 8 corrosive substance, Packing Group II, which requires dangerous goods transport documentation and compliant packaging.
PPE requirements vary by hazard class and product; corrosive Class 8 substances typically call for chemical-resistant gloves, eye protection, and other protective equipment as specified in the relevant SDS.
Review the product's technical data sheet and, where available, its safety data sheet, compare the documented specification and hazard classification against your internal requirements, and confirm any open questions with our team before finalizing an order.
A Technical Data Sheet (TDS) describes product properties, specification, and intended use, while a Safety Data Sheet (SDS/MSDS) focuses on hazard classification, handling, storage, and emergency information. A TDS does not always include full transport classification.
No. Based on the documentation on file, several products — including Soda Ash, SLES, CAPB, MEG, and DEG — are not classified as dangerous goods for transport, while others, such as Caustic Soda Flakes and Sodium Hypochlorite, are. See the hazard classification table above for the full breakdown.
