Nitrocellulose

1. main character
Nitrocellulose (NC) is a kind of white fibrous or flake fiber and it is a very important material in many fields. It is an inflammable solid whose formula is [C6H7O2(OH)3-r (ONO2)r]n. Acid, alkali, oxidant, reductant or heat and direct sunlight will make unfavorable affection on the quality of nitrocellulose.
2. Useage
NC has wide usages, NC for lacquers can be applied in producing different types of lacquer, stencil paper, ink, varnished cloth, sealing cover, binder, leather oil, nail polish, and so on. NC for Celluloid is mainly used for table-tennis ball and celluloid adornment products.
3.Technical specifications
During nitrocellulose production, some variables are controlled according to its application requirements. The different types of products are mainly characterized in relation to the nitrogen content and viscosity (or polymerization degree).
Nitrocellulose with high nitrogen content (HN) has between 11.5% and 12.2% of this element in its formula. The product is soluble in esters, ketones and glycols and insoluble in alcohols, except methanol, and when mixed with the solvents above. The product with low nitrogen content (LN) has between 10.7% and 11.4% of the component in its formula and is quite soluble in alcohols.
Nitrocellulose may be moistened with ethanol (ETA) or isopropanol (IPA).
