Nitrocellulose – NC Grade B
NC Grade B refers to a commonly recognized grade of nitrocellulose with a medium nitrogen content, typically around 11.5–12.2% nitrogen. Nitrocellulose is a nitrated cellulose polymer used extensively in coatings and industrial applications. NC Grade B is valued for its good solubility in esters and alcohols and its balanced film‑forming properties.
Key Details:
Chemical Formula: [C6H7O2(OH)3−x(ONO2)x]n (where x represents the degree of esterification)
Description: White, fluffy, fibrous, or granular solid. It is a nitrated cellulose material that is highly flammable. The “Grade B” designation generally indicates a medium nitrogen content suitable for controlled solubility and film formation.
Common Uses:
- Coatings: Used as a film‑forming resin in industrial lacquers, varnishes, and wood coatings.
- Printing Inks: Provides fast drying and strong adhesion in printing ink formulations.
- Industrial Materials: Used as a binder in celluloid products and other specialty polymer systems.
Disclaimer: Nitrocellulose products are classified as hazardous materials due to their highly flammable nature. Proper handling, storage, and transportation in accordance with safety regulations are required.
