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 & Availability
- Country Availability
- 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
