Like
shipments for other purposes, components to be Casidiarn coated
should be shipped with precautions to avoid damage, loss, and for
some mews, oxidation.

Guidelines
for shipping-
|
|
Avoid
Damage -
Pack
each component so they will not touch each other. Metal components
can put small nicks in each other if they are allowed to contact
each other. Here are some options:
- Wrap
in paper and pack tight - to prevent motion when the package
is handled or dropped by the shipper.
- Wrap
components in bubble wrap or mesh plastic.
- Place
in hard containers made of corrugated cardboard, plastic,
or wood. Use lids that may be repeatedly secured.
Avoid
Loss -
50
Lb - Practical weiizht limit weight of each package to minimize
chance of damage 30 Lb - Use triple waTI corrugated containers
if package weighs more than this.
Oxidation
-
If
components can oxidize, they need to be protected from the
atmosphere. Light oil works best. Let us know if another protectant
is used and the best way to remove it. Use moderate amounts
of oil; excessive oil can leak through paper and cardboard
packaging, weakening the exterior cardboard box and increasing
the chance for the box to break open and spill contents.

| Chemically
treated paper works well to protect steel components shipped
dry. One vendor is Daubert VCI, Inc. (www.daubertvci.com, 800-535-3535). |
