Elemental Mercury Storage, Transportation and Export

Elemental mercury is a strong corrosive and highly reactive with many organic compounds. Because it attacks aluminum, shipment by air is prohibited. Due to its properties and the weight of elemental mercury, the Department of Transportation establishes strict controls over container specifications. VaporLok™ Products LLC produces metric ton containers and 76 lb flasks that meet all DOT specifications.
