Applications

Due to its unique properties, nitrocellulose remains indispensable in flexographic and gravure printing for flexible packaging. Our nitrocellulose offers excellent binding performance and outstanding compatibility with a wide range of solvents, resins, and pigments, as it dissolves completely, clearly, and without residue.

Walsrode nitrocellulose is the ideal choice for wood and furniture coatings, creating a transparent, fast-drying film with outstanding mechanical strength and visual appeal. It dissolves readily in a broad range of organic solvent systems, enabling highly flexible formulations.

With its excellent mechanical resistance and fast-drying performance, Walsrode nitrocellulose plays a vital role in premium nail polish formulations.

Walsrode nitrocellulose excels as a high-quality membrane material for blotting applications. It enables efficient transfer of electrophoretically separated biomolecules onto solid supports, offers exceptionally high protein-binding capacity, and stands out for its excellent mechanical stability. Thanks to its extremely low detection background, it delivers clear and reliable results in analytical applications.

Our nitrocellulose is a key binder in the coatings and printing inks industry. It is widely used in leather coatings due to its excellent resistance to alcohol, providing enhanced protection against stains from alcoholic beverages and perfumes. Nitrocellulose-based leather coatings also offer outstanding flexibility and resistance to cracking.
