Safety & Health

Safety Precautions
  • Bermocoll® M 30 Q is easily dispersed in cold water of pH 7 or less.
  • Bermocoll® M 30 Q can form lumps when added to an alkaline liquid.
  • To avoid this, it should be added as a ready stock solution, as a slurry in slight acid water or in an organic solvent, or as a dry mix with other powder materials.
  • The dissolving time after dispersion is influenced by the water pH.
  • Alkaline additives can be used to speed up the dissolving process. At the temperatures above 250°C (480°F), charring of Bermocoll® M 30 Q will occur.
  • At high temperatures and in contact with an open flame, Bermocoll® M 30 Q will burn slowly with the characteristics of cellulose.
