RapidFire cutting rod igniters are sold in units of ten pieces. Five igniters are sealed
in an airtight, aluminized pouch. Two pouches are then packed in a cardboard box. The cardboard
boxes, each containing ten (10) rod igniters, are securely packed and shipped in a UN 1A2 steel
pail (drum).
c.
Transportation.
Current regulations prohibit the shipping of the cutting rod igniters by commercial
air carriers. They must be transported by truck or vessel. Small quantities (5 boxes or less) of
cutting rod igniters may be shipped as Class 9 materials via UPS. Igniters can not be shipped via
post, Federal Express, or DHL. Contact Broco for specific information about shipping RapidFire

Cutting rod igniters should be stored in the metal pails they are shipped in until they are
needed for use. Do not store the cutting rod igniters next to flammable liquid.

The reactive material should be exposed to the air prior to disposal. The material will
oxidize and become deactivated. The remaining residue is not hazardous and may be discarded.
