Packaging and Transport: Care should be taken to prevent ignition from heat, spark, open flames or hot surface. BERMOCOLL CCA 328 is packed in a polyethylene bag. Net weight 20 kg. We recommend emptying the bags from the bottom. The empty bags can be recycled or burned.

Storage & Handling

Storage Conditions: In unopened bags, Bermocoll® CCA 328 can be stored for several years. In opened bags, the moisture content of Bermocoll® CCA 328 will be influenced by the air humidity.

Like many industrial processed powdery materials, cellulose ether dusts are combustible and can cause dust explosions. Dust formation must be avoided or kept to a minimum.

Bermocoll® CCA 328 should be admixed in dry form before the water is added. Due to its small particle size Bermocoll® CCA 328 will dissolve rapidly after addition of water to the dry mix.

At the temperatures above 250 °C (480 °F), charring of Bermocoll® CCA 328 will occur. At high temperatures and in contact with an open flame, Bermocoll® CCA 328 will burn slowly with the characteristics of cellulose.
