BS5609 Marine Transportation Chemicals Drum Labels

Labels are used for identification, warning and indication purposes, and are suitable for the identification of drums containing chemicals transported by sea.

Label advantages:
BS5609 testing is a requirement for self-adhesive drum labels that require International Maritime Dangerous Goods (IMDG) certification. The tests involved immersing the labels to salt water for three months.
Compliance with BS5609 means the label has passed the industry’s toughest durability tests and can withstand three months of salt water immersion. This rigorous standard ensures that if chemical drums are dropped from the ship, the labels on the drums will remain bonded, intact and readable after prolonged submersion in the ocean.
The labels are durable and have excellent weather resistance, which can withstand harsh conditions such as strong wind, UV, rain, etc.
Resistant to a wide range of chemicals, making it ideal for the transport of dangerous goods.
