Sodium Dichloroisocyanurate (SDIC) is a highly effective disinfectant widely used in swimming pools, drinking water treatment, sanitation facilities, livestock farming, food processing, and emergency disinfection. While product quality is crucial for importers, distributors, and industrial users, packaging is equally important. Appropriate SDIC packaging helps ensure product stability, safety, efficient transportation, and a longer shelf life.
As a manufacturer, we understand that different customers and applications require different packaging specifications. This article will introduce the main packaging options for SDIC and their impact on logistics, warehousing, and shelf life to help buyers choose the most suitable solution.
Why Packaging is Critical for SDIC?
SDIC is a chlorine-based oxidizing disinfectant. It is sensitive to humidity, temperature, and contamination. Improper packaging can lead to:
- Caking or Degradation
- Safety Risks During Transport
- Shortened Shelf Life
Therefore, choosing the right packaging is crucial for product quality from the factory to the end user.
Common SDIC Product Forms and Packaging
SDICs are typically supplied in granules or tablets (e.g., 1g, 3g, 20g).
To protect these products and support global logistics, the most common packaging types include:
Plastic Drums (HDPE Drums)
Common Sizes: 1kg, 5kg, 10kg, 25kg, 50kg
Features:
- Strong moisture barrier
- Corrosion resistant
- Stackable, suitable for warehouse storage
- Suitable for long-haul transportation
Applications:
- B2B bulk orders
- Industrial water treatment
- Distributor repackaging
HDPE drums are one of the most reliable options for industrial SDIC packaging and are widely accepted worldwide.
Fiber/Composite Drums
These drums consist of a fiber drum body, liner, and metal or plastic lid.
Advantages:
- Lightweight
- Cost-effective
- High strength, suitable for palletizing
Typical Uses:
Large volume shipments
They strike a balance between cost control and product safety, especially suitable for stable storage environments.
Small Bottles, Jars, and Pouches
Packaging sizes: 100g–1kg
Applications:
- Retail sales,
- Home market,
- Outdoor and emergency disinfection kits
These kits typically include: Moisture-proof seal, Child-safe cap, Product labeling compliant with local regulations. Retail packaging requires strict quality control to prevent moisture absorption after opening.
SDIC Storage Best Practices
Transportation Safety
Robust packaging reduces the following risks:
- Leakage
- Powder leakage
- Chemical reactions caused by humid environments
HDPE drums and fiber-lined drums offer optimal overall safety.
Transportation Efficiency and Cost
Key factors include:
- Weight
- Stackability
- Space utilization
- Packaging durability
For example:
Drums → Best suited for sea freight, easy to palletize
Bottles → Higher logistics costs per kilogram, more suitable for consumer markets
Choosing the appropriate packaging size helps optimize transportation costs per ton.
Comply with International Regulations
SDIC is classified as an oxidizing solid. Packaging must comply with transport regulations such as:
- UN Dangerous Goods Classification
- Labeling standards
- Proper sealing
Partnering with experienced manufacturers ensures that packaging and documentation comply with customs and transport requirements.

SDIC Storage Best Practices
Regardless of packaging type, we recommend:
- Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated warehouse
- Keep away from heat and sunlight
- Avoid contact with acids, ammonia, and organic substances
- Reseal tightly after opening
- Use a pallet to avoid contact with ground moisture
Following these guidelines helps maintain product stability and effectiveness throughout its shelf life.
Choosing the Right Packaging for Your Market
Ideal SDIC packaging depends on:
- End-use application
- Local regulations
- Transportation method
- Climate conditions
- Distribution model (wholesale and retail)
Suitable for Industrial and Municipal Users
Preferred
50 kg high-density polyethylene drums
Fiber drums
Suitable for distributors
Preferred: 1-10 kg drums or cans
Retail market
Preferred: 1 kg bottles
Small resealable bags
We can provide OEM/private label packaging services according to customer requirements.
Why Choose to Partner with a Professional SDIC Manufacturer?
