Safety & Health

Safety and Handling
  • Bermocoll® ME 1000 X should be admixed in dry form before the water is added.
  • Due to its particle size Bermocoll® ME 1000 X will dissolve rapidly after addition of water to the dry mix.
  • At the temperatures above 250 °C (480 °F), charring of Bermocoll® ME 1000 X will occur.
  • At high temperatures and in contact with an open flame, Bermocoll® ME 1000 X will burn slowly with the characteristics of cellulose.

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 to a minimum.
  • Care should be taken to prevent ignition from heat, spark, open flames or hot surfaces. Bermocoll® ME 1000 X is packed in a 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® ME 1000 X will occur.
  • At high temperatures and in contact with an open flame, Bermocoll® ME 1000 X will burn slowly with the characteristics of cellulose.

Storage & Handling

Storage Information
  • In unopened bags, Bermocoll® ME 1000 X can be stored for several years.
  • In opened bags, the moisture content of Bermocoll® ME 1000 X will be influenced by the air humidity
