Abstract
Summary
Nitrocellulose is a highly flammable compound formed by nitrating cellulose through exposure to nitric acid or another powerful nitrating agent. When used as a propellant or low-order explosive, it was originally known as guncotton. If the cellulose is not fully nitrated then it has found uses as a plastic film and in inks and wood coatings.
The global Nitrocellulose market is projected to reach US$ 811.5 million by 2030 from an estimated US$ 760 million in 2024, at a CAGR of 1.1% during 2024 and 2030.
