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.

Storage Condition

In unopened bags, BERMOCOLL EHM 500 can be stored for several years. In opened bags, the moisture content BERMOCOLL EHM 500 will be influenced by the air humidity. At temperatures above 250°C (480°F), charring of BERMOCOLL EHM 500 will occur.

Packaging and Transport

BERMOCOLL EHM 500 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.
