Peculiarities of cargo transportation of paints
Delivery involves compliance with increased safety standards due to the chemical nature of the cargo. Paints and varnishes are classified as flammable liquids with special temperature conditions:
- for water-dispersion paints - not below +5°C;
- for organosoluble paints - not higher than +25°C.
Our specialists monitor these parameters with electronic temperature sensors throughout the entire route.
Significant attention in the transportation of paint in Ukraine is given to packaging for transportation: we use certified metal containers, plastic containers with special protective properties. Each container is thoroughly checked for integrity and tightness before loading. When placing in the vehicle, we take into account the rules of co-location with other categories of cargo, we use fixing systems against displacement.
All our operations on transportation of construction materials of chemical group are provided with necessary licenses: permits to work with hazardous substances, certificates of conformity of vehicles. Our drivers have special qualifications confirmed by international ADR certificates on training of drivers of vehicles transporting dangerous goods.
What the price depends on
Save Pro Solutions adheres to the policy of transparent pricing. The price of paint transportation is formed under the influence of several objective factors.
- The first is the volume of the shipment, which determines the choice of vehicle type and the number of loading and unloading operations.
- The second - the route of transportation, including kilometers, quality of road surface, the need to transit through settlements with restrictions for dangerous goods.
- The category of hazardous paints has a significant impact: the higher the class according to ADR classification, the more serious are the requirements for transportation, documentation and personnel qualification.
Special storage conditions make adjustments to the cost: the need to maintain a special temperature regime, the use of container transportation with isothermal properties.
When transporting paints by road, seasonal factors are also taken into account: in winter, the cost of thermal insulation, heating the cargo compartment to protect water-dispersion compositions from freezing increases. In the summer season, when transporting dangerous goods, additional cooling measures are required to prevent the evaporation of solvents from organosoluble paints.
The logistics of paint and varnish materials in our company is based on the principles of economic feasibility. We do not apply excessive security measures if they are not justified by the real properties of the cargo, but we never economize on really necessary standards of protection. This approach allows us to offer rational tariffs with a guaranteed level of safety in the transportation of varnishes and paints.
