6.10 Packing. Normal Lead Styphnate should be packaged and shipped in a wet condition
as directed in the Code of Federal Regulations CFR 49, for manufacturers within the United
States. For foreign manufacturers, all transportation regulations should be in accordance with the
Foreign National Transportation Authority and the Recommendations on the Transport of
Dangerous Goods, as published in document ST/SG/AC.10/1, current revisions, prepared by the
U.N. Committee of Experts on the Transport of Dangerous Goods. A mixture of water plus
denatured ethyl alcohol in such proportions to prevent freezing should always be used unless
otherwise directed.
6.10.1 Level A. Up to 25 lbs. (dry weight) of Normal Lead Styphnate should be packed
wet (50/50 solution of water/denatured ethanol) directly into a cambric diaper or similar cloth
bag. A cap of the same diameter and fabric as the bag should be placed inside the bag and over
the Normal Lead Styphnate. The bag should then be tied closed and placed inside a bag made of
conductive velostat. This velostat bag should then be filled with 50/50 water/denatured ethanol
solution. This water/alcohol mixture must completely cover the bag contents. The velostat bag is
then tied closed and placed inside a 4 oz. or heavier duck bag. A cap of the same materials and of
the same diameter as the duck bag should be placed over the velostat bag. The duck bag is then
securely tied closed. This bag is now the unit bag which should be marked in accordance with
6.10.5. An appropriate number of bags (whose combined total dry weight of Normal Lead
Styphnate should not exceed 150 lbs.) are placed into a rubber cloth bag. Inside this bag and over
the unit of bags of Normal Lead Styphnate should be placed a cap of the same fabric and same
diameter as this bag. This rubber cloth bag should then be filled with a 50/50 water/denatured
ethanol solution so that the unit bags inside are completely covered. The bag is then securely tied
closed. This rubber bag is placed inside a strong grain bag which must be securely tied closed.
The grain bag and its contents must be packed in the center of an open head steel drum
conforming to UN 1A2, standards for Steel Drums, which has been lined with a heavy, close
fitting jute bag. The grain bag should be entirely surrounded by not less than 3 inches of well-
packed sawdust saturated by the previously mentioned water/alcohol mixture. The jute bag
should then be closed by secure sewing to prevent the escape of the sawdust. The dry weight of
Normal Lead Styphnate in one outside container should not exceed 150 lbs.
6.10.2 Level B. Level B should be the same as Level A.
6.10.3 Level C. Level C should be the same as Level A.
