Packaging & Availability
- Packaging Type
- Regional Availability
- Packaging and Transport
- MCA, 70% solution in water, is in general only transported in bulk. Because of the restricted temperature limits, insulated and/or temperature controlled containers are used. Transport can take place both by road and rail.
