Storage Condition

In unopened bags, BERMOCOLL Prime 1500 can be stored for several years. In opened bags, the moisture content of BERMOCOLL Prime 1500 will be influenced by the air humidity. At the temperatures above 250°C (480°F), charring of BERMOCOLL Prime 1500 will occur.. 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.

Packaging and Transport

BERMOCOLL Prime 1500 is packed in polyethylene plastic bags. Net weight 20kg. We recommend emptying the bags from the bottom. The empty bags can be recycled or burned.
