- Packaging Information
HDK® V15D is offered in following packaging:
- Pallet with paper bags: 15 kg bags
- Big bags: 220 kg (big bags on pallets)
- Silotruck: depending on size of truck, approx. 3.5 to 5 tons
Storage & Handling
- Storage Information
HDK® V15D should be stored in the original packaging in dry storage areas. Due to the high surface area HDK® adsorbs volatiles and should be protected from humidity and volatiles. If single bags are taken away from an original pallet, the remaining bags of this pallet must again be protected against humidity and volatiles.
