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 & Availability

- Regional Availability
- Packaging and Transport
BERMOCOLL EHM 300 is packed in in polyethylene 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
- In unopened bags, BERMOCOLL EHM 300 can be stored for several years. In opened bags, the moisture content of BERMOCOLL EHM 300 will be influenced by the air humidity. At temperatures above 250 °C (480 °F), charring of BERMOCOLL EHM 300 will occur.
- Storage Conditions
- At high temperatures and in contact with an open flame, BERMOCOLL EHM 300 will burn slowly with the characteristics of cellulose.
