Process leading to Fluorocarbons collection
Before handing over Fluorocarbons to a transport company, please review the following procedures and documents and take appropriate action.
Arrangement of Logistics Equipment
Recently, following incidents where Fluorocarbons were released into the atmosphere due to impacts such as overturning during the transportation of large cylinders,
currently, to prevent leakage during transportation, large cylinders that are not equipped with 'leak-prevention caps (seal caps)' and 'packed in dedicated cylinder cases' cannot be accepted.
We kindly request that you prepare dedicated cylinder cases and leak-prevention caps (seal caps) using the application form below.
To transfer Fluorocarbons, they must be stored in specialized containers. First-time operators will be provided with the necessary logistics equipment by our organization; please apply using the form below.
