Dangerous When Wet (Class 4.3) Storage

Class 4.3 materials react with water to emit flammable gases. Moisture control and separation from water-based suppression assumptions are critical.

Class, Division, and GHS meaning

Division 4.3 sits under DOT Class 4 (flammable solids / dangerous-when-wet materials). Notes about contact with water emitting flammable gases belong here even when a flammable-solid phrase also appears.

Storage implications for rental buildings

Keep containers dry, elevated above potential wet floors, and isolated from aqueous incompatibles. Confirm whether water is an acceptable extinguishing agent before selecting a building and fire-protection package.
