#DL5140 4 x 4" Spontaneously Combustible - Hazard Class 4 Label

Spontaneous combustion is a situation where self-heating leads to thermal runaway and autoignition in the end. Here, after an increase in temperature because of exothermic internal reactions, there is an acceleration in temperature that causes fire. When you are shipping spontaneous combustion, it is important to be extra cautious about the contents stored in the shipment box. These goods, whether in solid or liquid form can ignite within a span of 5 minutes if they come in contact with air. Goods like damp hay and oily rags are combustible. They do not require an outside ignition source for catching fire. Class 4 spontaneous combustibles, when transported from one place to another have to be stored in such boxes that they do not get ignited and delivered safely.

To ensure that the handlers of these shipments are safe, it is important to label the boxes with a cautionary message.

The spontaneous combustible goods, if transported require these cautionary labels. Created with a colour combination of white and red diamond along with a message written in bold black font, the label is eye-catching that allows the handler to quickly look at the safety message and take necessary precautions. There is a fire sign on top and numeral "4" at the bottom for depicting that the contents are class 4 hazardous material and can easily catch fire. Use our labels with our label dispensers for a quick process, saving your time and energy.
