NC Grade C

NC Grade C refers to a commercial or industrial grade of nitrocellulose, a highly flammable polymer derived from cellulose nitrate. Unlike a distinct chemical compound, "Grade C" typically denotes a quality standard with a specific nitrogen content, solubility, or viscosity suited for industrial applications such as coatings, films, and lacquers.

Key Details:

Chemical Formula: [C6H7O2(OH)3−x(ONO2)x]n (x represents the degree of esterification)

Description: White, fibrous, or granular solid. Highly flammable. Grade C is typically characterized by a medium-to-high nitrogen content and moderate solubility in alcohols and esters, suitable for certain industrial applications.

Common Uses:

  • Coatings & Lacquers: Used as a film-forming resin for wood coatings, varnishes, and industrial finishes.
  • Printing & Films: Employed in printing inks, photographic films, and specialized polymer applications.
  • Binders: Used in celluloid and other nitrocellulose-based composite materials.

Disclaimer: Nitrocellulose products are highly flammable and considered hazardous. Proper handling, storage, and safety protocols must be followed.
