Safety & Health

Safety Precautions
  • Bermocoll® M 10 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 10 will occur.
  • At high temperatures and in contact with an open flame, Bermocoll® M 10 will burn slowly with the characteristics of cellulose.

Packaging & Availability

Packaging Information
  • Care should be taken to prevent ignition from heat, spark, open flames or hot surface.
  • Bermocoll® M 10 is packed in a polyethylene bag. Net weight 15 kg. We recommend emptying the bags from the bottom.
  • The empty bags can be recycled or burned. In unopened bags, Bermocoll® M 10 can be stored for several years.
  • In opened bags, the moisture content of Bermocoll® M 10 will be influenced by the air humidity.
  • At the temperatures above 250°C (480°F), charring of Bermocoll® M 10 will occur.
  • At high temperatures and in contact with an open flame, Bermocoll® M 10 will burn slowly with the characteristics of cellulose.
