Safety & Health

Safety Information

Bermocoll® M 30 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 Bermocoll® M 30 will occur. At high temperatures and in contact with an open flame, Bermocoll® M 30 will burn slowly with the characteristics of cellulose.

Storage & Handling

Storage Conditions

• In unopened bags, Bermocoll® M 30 can be stored for several years. In opened bags, the moisture content of Bermocoll® M 30 will be influenced by the air humidity.
• 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.
