Product description
Photographic paper is a fine grade of paper coated on both sides with polyethylene film and containing no extraneous substances. The coating ensures that the paper is resistant to water and chemicals, which is particularly advantageous during photographic processing.
Quality / Duration of storage
Contamination of photographic paper by copper or iron residues results in precipitation of metallic silver.
Intended use
Photographic paper is the raw material for the production of photographs.

Packaging
Photographic paper is packaged in, among other things, solid wooden boxes, plywood chests, palletized cartons and crates. The packaging containers are sometimes strapped with metal strapping.
In the case of transport on pallets, the packaging sizes are selected such that the dimensions of the individual area modules or area module multiples are conformed to the conventional pallet sizes (800×1200 mm and 1000×1200 mm) and cargo units may thus be produced.

Transport
Symbols
 General cargo |
Means of transport
Truck, ship, railroad
Container transport
Subject to compliance with limits for the water content of goods, packaging and flooring, photographic paper may be transported in standard containers.
Cargo handling
It is imperative that photographic paper be protected from moisture (rain, snow etc.) during cargo handling, as there is a risk of damage caused by swelling.
In the event of incorrect handling during loading, unloading and storage, there is always a risk that the relatively mechanically sensitive goods will be damaged by snagging.
Stowage factor
|
1.65 m³/t (photographic paper in a solid wooden box, unit weight 85 kg) [1] |
Stowage space requirements
cool, dry, well ventilated
Segregation
If necessary, marker pen/oil crayon (preferred)
Cargo securing
The packaging containers must be secured by a tight or frictional fit such that they cannot move freely in the hold or container and thus also cannot be damaged.

Risk factors and loss prevention
RF Temperature
Photographic paper requires particular temperature, humidity/moisture and possibly ventilation conditions (SC VI) (storage climate conditions).
Most favorable travel temperature range: 16 – 20°C [1]
Optimum travel temperature: 23°C [1]
Photographic paper must be stowed away from heat sources.
Back to beginning
RF Humidity/Moisture
Photographic paper requires particular temperature, humidity/moisture and possibly ventilation conditions (SC VI) (storage climate conditions) .
| Designation | Humidity/water content | Source |
| Relative humidity | 55 – 65% (optimum) | [1] |
| Maximum equilibrium moisture content | 70% | [1] |
Photographic paper must be protected from excessive relative humidity and moisture (seawater, rain, condensation water).
Back to beginning
RF Ventilation
Photographic paper requires particular temperature, humidity/moisture and possibly ventilation conditions (SC VI) (storage climate conditions) .
Recommended ventilation conditions: air exchange rate: 6 changes/hour (airing), if the dew point of the external air is lower than the dew point of the hold air.

RF Biotic activity
This risk factor has no significant influence on the transport of this product.

RF Gases
This risk factor has no significant influence on the transport of this product.

RF Self-heating / Spontaneous combustion
Since photographic paper is a flammable material it should be protected from sparks and smoking must be strictly prohibited. Only if heat is applied is there a risk of ignition.
Unlike CO2, water and foam cause considerable cargo losses due to wetting and swelling when used as fire-extinguishing agents.

RF Odor
| Active behavior | Photographic paper does not release any odor. |
| Passive behavior | Photographic paper is not odor-sensitive. |
Back to beginning
RF Contamination
| Active behavior | Photographic paper is a clean cargo. |
| Passive behavior | Photographic paper must in particular be stowed away from colorants, acids, chemicals and fats/oils. |

RF Mechanical influences
In the event of incorrect handling during loading, unloading and storage, there is always a risk that the relatively mechanically sensitive goods will be damaged by snagging.

RF Toxicity / Hazards to health
This risk factor has no significant influence on the transport of this product.
Back to beginning
RF Shrinkage / Shortage / Theft
Photographic paper is at risk of theft and should thus ideally be transported in the locker. Containers should be stowed such that the doors of adjacent containers face towards each other.

RF Insect infestation / Diseases
This risk factor has no significant influence on the transport of this product.
