All values printed in the catalogue at 20°C unless a measurement temperature is indicated. The table does not distinguish LM-3, LM-3A and LM-3AL; confirm the exact model and concentration before specifying.

Standard packaging
Same as LM-1: 167 kg iron drums; bulk tanker above 10 t

Reference values from the Chaoyang Guangda LM catalogue — typical figures rather than guaranteed limits. Confirm the exact model and concentration on the current model TDS before specifying.
