Co\n4522 S. 133rd St\nTukwila, WA 98168\nReference No. 25-0011\nDear Ms. Ostbye:\nThis letter is in response to your January 21, 2025 letter requesting clarification of the Hazardous\nMaterials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR Parts 171-180) applicable to the segregation requirements\nof a two-component wood bleach solution. You state that your company manufactures and\nmarkets a wood bleach solution comprising both “UN1824, Sodium hydroxide solution, 8, II”—\nwhich is referred to as bleach solution A—and “UN2014, Hydrogen peroxide, aqueous solution,\n5.1 (8), II”—which is referred to as bleach solution B. You state that each component is\npackaged individually in a pint, quart, or gallon plastic bottle. You further state the pint and\nquart-sized plastic bottles are enclosed together in the same industrial polyethylene bags, while\nthe gallon-sized bottles are packaged separately in polyethylene bags; and then, in both cases, the\ncomponents are packaged together in United Nations (UN) fiberboard boxes. Lastly, you state\nthat these components are designed to be mixed by the end-user (i.e., customer) and pose no risk\nof combustion, evolution of considerable heat, evolution of flammable or poisonous gases or\nvapors, or the formation of corrosive or unstable substances when mixed. You ask does the\nsegregation requirements in § 176.83(b) of the HMR and Chapter 7.2 of the International\nMaritime Dangerous Goods (IMDG) Code apply to the components of this kit?\nYou are correct in that the segregation requirements in the table in § 176.83(b) indicate that these\ntwo components would not be allowed in the same shipping container, and therefore they would\nnot be allowed in the same outer packaging. However, one of the provisions for the segregation\nrequirements is found in § 176.83(a)(4)(ii), where it states that segregation is not required\nbetween hazardous materials of different classes which comprise a group of substances that do\nnot react dangerously with each other. That provision goes on to list some materials that are\ngrouped by compatibility. It should be noted that there may be additional groups of materials that\nare compatible and do not react dangerously with each other that are not listed in paragraph\n\n<<>>\n\n(a)(4)(ii)(A) through (C), even when segregation applies in accordance with § 176.83(b). The\nIMDG Code contains a similar provision in Section 7.2.6.3.2.\nAdditionally, all packagings of hazardous materials must comply with § 173.21(e), which states\nthat it is forbidden to offer for transportation “a material in the same packaging, freight\ncontainer, or overpack with another material, the mixing of which is likely to cause a dangerous\nevolution of heat, or flammable or poisonous gases or vapors, or to produce corrosive materials.”\nI hope this information is helpful. Please contact us if we can be of further assistance.\nSincerely,\nT.

The components of our Wood\nBleach are part \"A\", a Sodium Hydroxide Solution and part \"B\", a Hydrogen Peroxide Aqueous Solution.\nEach component is packaged in pint, quart and gallon HDPE, high density polyethylene, bottles. All\nbottles are HIS with Vented CRC caps and then enclosed in 2mil industrial poly bags. The pint and quart\nbottles are enclosed together and the gallon kits are enclosed separately. All components are then\npackaged in UN specified heavy weight fiberboard cartons.\nShould the two components leak and combine they pose no risk of reacting dangerously with each\nother. Our A&B Wood Bleach Solution is specifically made to mix together, through proprietary\nformulation, and does not cause any external reaction when mixed together.\nOur two part Wood Bleach Solution will not cause combustion, evolution of considerable heat, evolution\nof flammable or poisonous gases or vapors, or the formation of corrosive or unstable substances. The\ntwo components combined are less dangerous than each component individually. In fact, our Bleach\nSolution \"B\" has a subsidiary hazmat number of 8 which is the same as the Bleach Solution \"A\".\nAttached you will find the following SDS Sheets:\n• Bleach Solution \"A\" (Product Code 17010)\n• Bleach Solution \"B\" (Product Code 17110)\nI have also attached a letter of interpretation given to our direct competitor Wood Kote. I have attached\ntheir SDS sheets as well and you will see they are nearly identical. Our concern is the same as Wood\nKote's, addressed in your April 17, 1998 letter. We want to be able to make domestic and international\nfreight and marine shipments with our two components packaged together.\n4522 S. 133rd ST., TUKWILA, WA 98168 ph 206.244.8844 fx 206.246.7691\ntoll-free 800.727.9694 w DALYSWOODFINISHES.COM\n\n<<>>\n\nDALYS\nWOOD FINISHING PRODUCTS\nA DIVISION OF FARWEST PAINT MFG.

Velikanje\nPresident\nWood Kote Products, Inc\n8000 N.E. 14t Place\nPortland, OR 97211\n1\nDear Mr. Velikanje:\nThis is in response to your letter of October 16, 1997, regarding the packaging of a two component\nwood bleach kit consisting of an aqueous solution of hydrogen peroxide (28%) and an aqueous\nsolution of sodium hydroxide with a buffer of silicic acid. You request clarification under the\nprovisions of the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CPR Parts 171-180).\nSpecifically, you asked if a two part kit consisting of one inner container of a material described as\nHydrogen peroxide, aqueous solution, 5.1, UN 2014 with a Class 8 subsidiary hazard, and one inner\ncontainer of a material describe as Sodium hydroxide solution, 8, UN 1824, PG II may be placed\nin the same outside packaging for transport by vessel. You expressed concern that ocean carriers will\nnot accept these shipments although they have been prepared in accordance with the HMR and the\nInternational Maritime Dangerous Goods (IMGD) Code.\nYes, these materials may be packaged together in the same outside package provided they are in\naccordance with 49 CFR 173.21 (e). As indicated in paragraph 3.6 in Annex I of the General\nIntroduction to the IMDG Code, Amendment 28 (see IMDG Code page 0509), a corresponding\nprovision specifies that materials may not be packaged together in the same outer packaging with\nother materiai if they react dangerously to each other and cause combustion and/or evolution of\nconsiderable heat, evolution of flammable, poisonous or asphyxiate gases, or the formation of\ncorrosive or unstable substances.\nIn addition, it is the shippers responsibility to ensure that your materials are properly packaged,\nmarked and labeled. Each material within the package, must be described on the shipping paper and\nmarked on the outside package. The package must be labeled with a Division 5.1 label and a Class\n8 label for the primary hazard of the materials.\n•\nI hope that this information is helpful. If you need further assistance, please contact us.\nSincerely,\nDelmerF. Billings\nChief, Regulations Development\nOffice of Hazardous Materials Standards\n\n<<>>\n\nOCT-16-97\n04:40 PM\nWOOD.

The gallon kits are packaged with 2 kits per UN specified heavy weight\nShould the two components leak and combine they will not react dangerously with each other,\n•\n•\n• or vapors, or the formation of corrosive or unstable substances, The two components combined\ncause combustion or evolution of considerable heat, evolution of flammable or poisonous gases\nare, in fact, less dangerous than cach individually.\nI have, for your reference, enclosed the following MSDS's:\nPart \"A\"\nProduct Description\nProduct Code\nPart \"B\"\n800-WB-A\nPart \"A\" & \"B\" combined ratio 1:1\n800-WB-B\n800-WB-B\n1 am also enclosing photocopies of letters you have provided to the WM Barr Co.
