Some of you may have received long looks from airport security types when transporting Sofnolime for the rebreather.

I frequently decant it out of the large keg and put it in heavy duty plastic double zip-lock baggies so it can be packed conformally, and thankfully with PA's temp stick down the scrubber bed, I take far less on airlines than what I used to.

Molecular used to have a document that stated the product was corrosive which could potentially freak out airport security types, so we traveled with two Molecular letters a material safety data sheet indicating it was corrosive, then a followup one that stated corrosive for use, not transportation.

Molecular has had a reclassification of Sofnolime as an irritant, rather than a corrosive, so now just 1 document shall suffice. I put these inside in plain view the double baggies, or rubber band it to the front of the 10 pound lime pack jug.
