For those interested in 4GV packaging, oftentimes you are left with few options. You are either left with using dusty vermiculite as your absorbent, or hard to put together corrugated inserts with absorbent bags that take a long time to assemble. We know how valuable your time is, so here at ICC The Compliance Center, we developed a new line of 4GV Packaging that is the easiest, dust-free (non-vermiculite), 4GV packaging to assemble on the market.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Vermiculite<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">For the most part, vermiculite seems to be the industry standard in terms of the cushioning\/absorbent used in 4GV packaging. There are several benefits to using vermiculite:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It is a fast-acting absorbent that does a fantastic job out in the field if liquid were to leak from the inner containers.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It provides fairly good protection.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It is relatively easy to use, just adhere to the cushioning distances detailed in the closing instructions and pour into the box.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">However, because vermiculite can be dusty and messy, you may be at an increased risk of contamination of your product, especially in lab settings. In addition, breathing in dust from vermiculite over a long period of time has been known to cause respiratory issues.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Symptoms associated with inhalation exposure to airborne dust may include coughing, sneezing, and minor upper respiratory irritation. Inhalation over long periods of substantial amounts of any inert dust can overload the lung clearance mechanism, making the lungs more vulnerable to respiratory disease.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Skin and eye contact may also cause minor physical or mechanical irritation. Because of this, there are several PPE (Personal Protection Equipment) recommendations when using vermiculite:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Use Gloves: Polymeric gloves are recommended to prevent possible irritation.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> The evaluation of the need for respiratory protection should be made by a professional industrial hygienist.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Chemical protective goggles are recommended where there is the possibility of eye contact with the product.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The overall verdict on 4GV Vermiculite Packaging:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Although vermiculite provides adequate absorption and cushioning and is very easy to use, it is messy and can generate airborne dust during use which can possibly cause contamination in a lab setting as well as irritation to eyes and respiratory tract.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-856030\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thecompliancecenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/ICC_4GVPackaging_Vermiculite.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"172\" height=\"235\" \/><\/p>\n<p>For more information on the health, safety and environmental aspects of Vermiculite, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vermiculite.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Vermiculite-HSE-Aspects.pdf\">click here.<\/a><\/p>\n<h4><b>ICC\u2019s SecurePacc 4GV Variation Dust-Free Packaging Kits<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-856031 \" src=\"https:\/\/www.thecompliancecenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/ICC_4GVPackaging_MoldedPulpShipper-300x196.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"246\" height=\"161\" \/><br \/>\nThis brings us to our <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecompliancecenter.com\/ca\/product-category\/packaging\/securepack-4gv-packaging-kits\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Securepacc Molded Pulp Dust Free 4GV kits<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><i>What is molded pulp you may ask?<\/i><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Molded pulp is a type of packaging made from a variety of fibrous materials, such as recycled paper, cardboard, or other natural fibers.
