- Applications
- Bermocoll® CCA 912 is used as an admixture in gypsum and cement based plasters for improvement of workability, consistency and water retention.
- Bermocoll® CCA 912 prolongs the open time and effectively counteracts the sagging tendency of the plaster.
- Bermocoll® CCA 912 should be admixed to the plaster in dry form before the water is added.Normal dosage is 0.15 - 0.30 % calculated on the dry mix. Due to its small particle size Bermocoll® CCA 912 will dissolve rapidly after addition of water to the dry mix.

Safety & Health
- Safety Information
At high temperatures and in contact with an open flame, BERMOCOLL CCA 912 will burn slowly with the characteristics of cellulose.
Packaging & Availability
- Packaging and Transport
- BERMOCOLL CCA 912 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 912 can be stored for several years. In opened bags, the moisture content of BERMOCOLL CCA 912 will be influenced by the air humidity. At the temperatures above 250 °C (480 °F), charring of BERMOCOLL CCA 912 will occur.
- 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. Care should be taken to prevent ignition from heat, spark, open flames or hot surface.
