Storage & Handling

Storage Conditions

• IAM DiFunctional B should be admixed to the plaster in dry form before the water is added. Due to its small particle size IAM DiFunctional B will dissolve rapidly after addition of water to the dry mix.
• At the temperatures above 250 °C (480 °F), charring of IAM DiFunctional B will occur. At high temperatures and in contact with an open flame, IAM DiFunctional B will burn slowly with the characteristics of cellulose.
• In unopened bags, BERMOCOLL CCA 612 can be stored for several years. In opened bags, the moisture content of BERMOCOLL CCA 612 will be influenced by the air humidity.
• Like many industrial processed powdery materials, cellulose ether dusts are combustible and can cause dust explosions. Dust formation must be avoided or kept to a minimum.
