Packing the fluxes for welding and surfacing

The fluxes are packed into paper bags with PE inlay. The weight of content is 25 kg.
The bags are laid on a pallet and are protected with PE foil. Maximum pallet weight is
1000 kg, or 500 kg for F 45 and F 46 fluxes. It is also possible to pack into BIG BAGS
5001000 kg each requested by the customer.
