Product data sheet (Building and construction, 2022-7-18): Applications: Bermocoll® ML 31 is used in tile adhesives and renders to improve the workability, consistency, water retention and adhesion. Storage: In unopened bags, Bermocoll® ML 31 can be stored for several years. In opened bags, the moisture content of Bermocoll® ML 31 will be influenced by the air humidity. Packaging and transport: Like many industrial processed powdery materials, cellulose ether dust 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 surface. Bermocoll® ML 31 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® ML 31 can be stored for several years. In opened bags, the moisture content of Bermocoll® ML 31 will be influenced by the air humidity.At the temperatures above 250°C (480°F), charring of Bermocoll® ML 31 will occur. At high temperatures and in contact with an open flame, Bermocoll® ML 31 will burn slowly with the characteristics of cellulose. Safety and handling: Bermocoll® ML 31 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® ML 31 will occur. At high temperatures and in contact with an open flame, Bermocoll® ML 31 will burn slowly with the characteristics of cellulose. Certifications: Nouryon Chemicals AG has been certified according to ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001.
