Application

Grades Application
1.
  • RS 1/32" (10-15 cps)
  • RS 1/16"
  • RS 1/8"
  • RS 18-25 cps
Lacquers for wood and paper where the highest solid content is desired.
2.
  • RS 30-35 cps
  • RS 1/4"
  • RS 1/4" H
Lacquers for wood, paper and toiletry where high solid content is called for, such as spraying lacquers, wood finish, paper coating and nail polishes.
3.
  • RS 1/2"
Widely used for low viscosity coating material, specifically for car coatings, furniture, wooden articles, pencil & paper coatings, nail polishes, adhesive agent and raw material of printing ink. When used for spray painting, the hardness is adequate and endurable.
4.
  • RS 1"
Its application is similar to the 1/2", yet more durability and higher viscosity.
5.
  • RS 5"~6"
  • RS 10"~15"
  • RS 15"~20"
  • RS 30"~40"
Finishes for leather, pharmaceutical collodions, and protective finishes for metal, fabric and leather.
6.
  • RS 60"~80"
  • RS 120"
  • RS 150"
  • RS 300"
  • RS 500"
  • RS 800"
  • RS 1200"
  • RS 2000"
Higher viscous painting and coating material is mostly used for leather, metal, wooden article lacquers. It is also used for wax paper, photo film, fluorescent light coating and glue agents.

Remark

1.  Nitrocellulose is not soluble in water, but isopropanol is miscibled.
2. Nitrocellulose is soluble in esters, ketones and glycol-ether.
3. Nitrocellulose is compatible with other resins, and it must be checked before use.
4. NC Samples are available upon formal request (1kg of sample is put in PVC container for each specification).
5.

Handling precautions:

Always attach grounding wire to the complete packaging system (fiber drum and anti-static polyethylene liner) before emptying fiber drums.
6. The information provided herein is for general introduction.
7. Users are required to confirm the suitable formulation, process and evaluation for consistency of quality control.
