Product data sheet (Building and construction, 2022-7-18): Applications: Bermocoll® E 481 FQ is a multifunctional product used in paints, pasty products and dry mortars. Bermocoll® E 481 FQ improves the workability, consistency, water retention and adhesion. Storage: In unopened bags, Bermocoll® E 481 FQ can be stored for several years. In opened bags, the moisture content of Bermocoll® E 481 FQ will be influenced by the air humidity. Packaging and transport: Like many industrial processed powdery materials, cellulose ether dusts are combustible and can cause dust explosions. Dust formation must be avoided and kept to a minimum. Care should be taken to prevent ignition from heat, spark, open flames or hot surface. Bermocoll® E 481 FQ is packed in polyethylene bag. Net weight 20 kg. We recommend emptying the bags from the bottom. The empty bags can be recycled or burned. In unopened bags,Bermocoll® E 481 FQ can be stored for several years. In opened bags, the moisture content of Bermocoll® E 481 FQ will be influenced by the air humidity.At the temperatures above 250 C (480 F), charring of Bermocoll® E 481 FQ will occur. At high temperatures and in contact with an open flame, Bermocoll® E 481 FQ will burn slowly with the characteristics of cellulose. Safety and handling: Bermocoll® E 481 FQ is easily dispersed in cold water of pH7 or less. Bermocoll® E 481 FQ 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® E 481 FQ will occur. At high temperatures and in contact with an open flame, Bermocoll® E 481 FQ will burn slowly with the characteristics of cellulose. Certifications: Nouryon Chemicals AG has been certified according to ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001.
