Packaging and Transport
Like many industrial processed powdery materials, cellulose ether dusts are combustible and can cause dust explosions. Dust formation must be avoided or kept a minimum. Care should be taken to prevent ignition from heat, spark, open flames or hot surface. GABROSA™ M 300 is packed in paper bags with polyethylene lining. Net weight 25 kg. We recommend emptying the bags from the bottom. The empty bags can be recycled or burned.

Storage & Handling

Storage Conditions
GABROSA™ M 300 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 GABROSA™ M 300 will occur. At high temperatures and in contact with an open flame, GABROSA™ M 300 will burn slowly with the characteristics of cellulose.
Storage Conditions
In unopened bags, GABROSA™ M 300 can be stored for several years. In opened bags, the moisture content of GABROSA™ M 300 will be influenced by the air humidity.
