Introduction
Industrial nitrocellulose is known to be one of the oldest film formers unequalled in properties like toughness, durability, fast solvent release capacity and solubility.
Nitrocellulose is a derivative of cellulose and is manufactured from purified cellulose either in the form of cotton linters or woodpulp. The manufacturing process involves nitration of purified cellulose with nitric acid and sulphuric acid under controlled conditions followed by stabilization and washing.
Nitrex Chemicals India manufactures nitrocellulose from bleached cotton linters with nitrogen content in the range of 10.7% to 12.2%. Our packaging and transportation of nitrocellulose conform to international standards as also to country specific standards as required.
