Safety & Health

Safety Information

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.

Packaging and Transport

BERMOCOLL M 10 is packed in a polyethylene bag. Net weight 15 kg. We recommend emptying the bags from the bottom. The empty bags can be recycled or burned. In unopened bags, BERMOCOLL M 10 can be stored for several years. In opened bags, the moisture content of BERMOCOLL M 10 will be influenced by the air humidity.At the temperatures above 250°C (480°F), charring of BERMOCOLL M 10 will occur. At high temperatures and in contact with an open flame, BERMOCOLL M 10 will burn slowly with the characteristics of cellulose.

Storage & Handling

Storage Conditions

Bermocoll® M 10 is intended for dry mixing with other powder materials and should not be used for direct dissolving in water. At the temperatures above 250°C (480°F), charring of Bermocoll® M 10 will occur. At high temperatures and in contact with an open flame, Bermocoll® M 10 will burn slowly with the characteristics of cellulose.
