Packaging & Availability

Packaging Type

Bags

Packaging and Transport

Care should be taken to prevent ignition from heat, spark, open flames or hot surface. BERMOCOLL E 230 FQ is packed in polyethylene plastic bags. Net weight 20 kg. We recommend emptying the bags from the bottom. The empty bags can be recycled or burned.

Storage & Handling

Storage Conditions

At high temperatures and in contact with an open flame, BERMOCOLL E 230 FQ will burn slowly with the characteristics of cellulose.

Storage Conditions

• In unopened bags, BERMOCOLL E 230 FQ can be stored for several years. In opened bags, the moisture content of BERMOCOLL E 230 FQ will be influenced by the air humidity. At the temperatures above 250 °C (480 °F), charring of BERMOCOLL E 230 FQ will occur.
• Like many industrial processed powdery materials, cellulose ether dust are combustible and can cause dust explosions. Dust formation must be avoided or kept to a minimum.
