RUBBER SHEETS SECURE LASHING SLINGS & ROPES

When transporting coils in trucks, use While transporting in containers, coils Secure coils and sheet packets with
rubber sheets beneath the coils or an must be lashed adequately and securely slings/chains/ropes while transporting

STORING PRECAUTIONS
DRY STORAGE
Keep the coil and sheets dry and store them in a well-ventilated place.

AVOID WETNESS AND CONDENSATION

If wetness or condensation is found, then dry it at once. An effective measure
is to dry a shipment with a fan or similar equipment while unpacking it.

COVERED STORAGE
Always store the sheets in a covered storage area.

OPEN STORAGE
Although not recommended, if in any case, the sheets must be stored in the
open, the following precautions should be taken:

• Put sleepers such as square pieces of lumber at proper intervals on the

ground and then place the sheets on top of them.
• Lay sleepers on flat ground. The tops of the sleepers must be equally
leveled to prevent the sheets from warping.
• Ensure air circulation.
• Ensure that the sheets are covered with waterproof sheeting or canvas
to protect them from rain and sunlight.
