Bermocoll® E481FQ

• Bermocoll® E 481 FQ is a multiFunctional product used in paints, pasty products and dry mortars.
• Bermocoll® E 481 FQ improves the workability, consistency, water retention and adhesion.

Bermocoll® E 481 FQ is a high viscosity grade of ethyl hydroxyethyl cellulose.

• Bermocoll® E 481 FQ is easily dispersed in cold water of pH7 or less.
• Bermocoll® E 481 FQ can form lumps when added to an alkaline liquid.
• To avoid this, it should be added as a ready stock solution, as a slurry in slight acid water or in an organic solvent, or as a dry mix with other powder materials.
• The dissolving time after dispersion is influenced by the water pH.
• Alkaline additives can be used to speed up the dissolving process.
• At the temperatures above 250 °C (480 °F), charring of Bermocoll® E 481 FQ will occur.
• At high temperatures and in contact with an open flame, Bermocoll® E 481 FQ will burn slowly with the characteristics of cellulose.

• Like many industrial processed powdery materials, cellulose ether dusts are combustible and can cause dust explosions.
• Dust formation must be avoided and kept to a minimum.
• Care should be taken to prevent ignition from heat, spark, open flames or hot surface.
• Bermocoll® E 481 FQ is packed in polyethylene bag. Net weight 20 kg.
• We recommend emptying the bags from the bottom.
• The empty bags can be recycled or burned
• .At the temperatures above 250 C (480 F), charring of Bermocoll® E 481 FQ will occur.
• At high temperatures and in contact with an open flame, Bermocoll® E 481 FQ will burn slowly with the characteristics of cellulose.

• In unopened bags, Bermocoll® E 481 FQ can be stored for several years.
• In opened bags, the moisture content of Bermocoll® E 481 FQ will be influenced by the air humidity
