Dangerous Goods Compliance for Hazardous Chemicals

The chemical industry is a sector of manufacturing that focuses on producing chemicals and chemical-based products through chemical processes. It transforms raw materials—such as oil, natural gas, minerals, and biomass—into a wide range of substances used in countless applications, including:

• Basic chemicals: acids, alkalis, solvents
• Petrochemicals: ethylene, propylene
• Polymers: plastics, synthetic fibers
• Specialty chemicals: adhesives, coatings
• Agrochemicals: fertilizers, pesticides
• Pharmaceuticals: active ingredients for medicines

It is essential for industries like agriculture, healthcare, construction, automotive, and electronics.

At dgm all chemical repours are carried out exclusively by trained and certified personnel within designated areas engineered for such operations. These areas are segregated, well-ventilated, and equipped with spill kits, plastic sheeting, and vermiculite absorbent to ensure maximum safety. Chemicals are transferred using our state-of-the-art repour machine, valves, nozzles, or pumps to minimize the risk of accidents.
