Flammable Solids, Spontaneous Combustibles 'Dangerous When Wet' Materials
When it comes to transporting and handling hazardous materials, flammable solids, spontaneous combustibles, and 'dangerous when wet' materials require specialized expertise and strict compliance with safety regulations. This also applies to materials that have the potential to spontaneously heat up while being transported or exposed to air, which could result in a fire. Additionally, it covers materials that react with water to release flammable gasses or ignite.
