Dangerous goods are articles or substances capable of endangering health, safety, property or the environment. These are duly classified in the Dangerous Goods Transportation Regulations.

We transport electric and non-electric detonators, and we stand out for shipping explosives for mining, loads that are carried out with the highest safety and quality standards.
We provide safety, specialization and knowledge, key concepts for the proper operation of the transportation of this type of products and their optimal arrival at destination.

Dangerous goods are materials or items with hazardous properties that, if not properly controlled, pose a potential risk to human health and safety, infrastructure and/or their means of transport.
Dangerous goods, often recognized as harmful materials, can be pure chemicals, mixtures of substances, manufactured products or articles that may pose a risk to humans, animals or the environment if not handled correctly during use or transport.
The Model UN Regulations use a classification system in which each hazardous substance or article is assigned to a CLASS, depending on the nature of the hazard it presents. There are 9 classes, some of which are further subdivided into others.
Class 1: Explosives
Class 2: Gases
Class 3: Flammable liquids
Class 4.1/4.2/4.3: Dangerous Goods
Class 5.1/5.2: Oxidizing Agents and Organic Peroxides
Class 6.1/6.2: Toxic and Infectious Substances
Class 7: Radioactives
Class 8: Corrosives
Class 9: Miscellaneous Hazardous Materials and Objects
