The uses and applications of Nitrocellulose may vary according to its specification. The main forms of Nitrocellulose are technical grade.

About Nitrocellulose. Nitrocellulose is the most important inorganic esther of cellulose, although it has been replaced by cheaper and less flammable options for some applications. It is a white solid soluble in ethanol, but not in water. If the solution is spilled, the solvent evaporates and leaves a very flammable plastic film that produces toxic fumes when ignited.

It must be store in a cool, dry and well-ventilated area. It is necessary to keep away with incompatible substances, heat and ignition sources. It can be stored in drums, being these sealed and in upright position.

Raw materials and the respective production processes employed in the manufacturing of Nitrocellulose are listed below.

  • Bleached wood pulp/cotton linters (nitration)

The uses and applications of Nitrocellulose may vary according to its specification. The main forms of Nitrocellulose are technical grade.

Most of the Cellulose Nitrate is used by the coating industry to produce lacquers, inks, adhesives, and binders, but it is also used in explosives and plastics. Also, it is used in photographic film, fibers, drug solvents, and wound sealants.
