Bulk materials — granulates, minerals, chemicals

A guide to bulk materials in bulk transport: polymer granulates (PE, PP, PVC, PET), mineral materials (cement, lime, talc, bentonite) and chemicals.

Bulk materials

Characteristics, properties and transport requirements of bulk materials carried loose — from polymer granulates through mineral and chemical materials.

Polymer granulates — PE, PP, PVC, PET, recyclates
Mineral materials — cement, lime, talc, bentonite
Chemical materials — carbon black, masterbatch, plastic additives, PTA, bleaching earths

Polymer granulates Plastic granulates in bulk transport: polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), PVC, PET and recyclates. Properties, bulk density, transloading requirements.

Chemical materials Bulk chemical materials in bulk transport: urea (fertilisers), carbon black. Properties, safety and transloading requirements.

Mineral materials Fine bulk mineral materials in bulk transport: cement, hydrated lime, talc, bentonite. Bulk density, dustiness, transloading and storage requirements.
