Powder in a paper bag is a class 2 Put it into a plastic barrel, similar to a plastic pallet you would increase two classes to a class 4 commodity
Class 4 contains within itself or it's packaging an appreciable amount (5 to 15% by weight or 5 to 25% by volume) of group A plastics. What is the weight of an empty barrel? Seems to fall in this range. Thank you James Crawford Phaser Fire Protection Ltd.

New product, not used. I am teetering between Class IV and Group A Plastic. Has anyone else working on something like this?
