Wood coatings
One of the major areas where Walsroder Nitrocellulose is used is wood coatings. Nitrocellulose is contained in primers, intermediate coats and top coats.

Nitrocellulose-based lacquers and varnishes used as wood coatings have a unique quality that no other coating binder achieves: they accentuate wood grain particularly well.

Nitrocellulose is primarily used in combination with alkyd resins (nitrocellulose combination lacquers). It is also contained in acid-hardening lacquers and two component (two-pack) polyurethane coatings in order to accelerate solvent evaporation and to provide a harder coating film. NC coatings are very easy to apply. They give a smooth and decorative surface much more readily than water-based coating systems do. Another benefit: NC coatings dry much faster.
