Safety & Health

Safety Information

Bermocoll® MT 500 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® MT 500 will occur. At high temperatures and in contact with an open flame, Bermocoll® MT 500 will burn slowly with the characteristics of cellulose.
