Nitrocellulose is a natural cellulose that has been treated with nitric acid to form a nitric acid ester for use in industry, plastics, and explosives.
Industrial nitrocellulose can be dissolved in a number of solvents and used as paints and inks.

Nitrocellulose Features

・Exceptional coating strength and elasticity
・A high level of surface hardness
・Excellent compatibility with other resins
・Excellent dispersion with various pigments
・High rates of drying when used as a coating compared with other resins

●High Dispersion Product Features

[Feature 1] No need for grinding

As dispersion has already been done, toners, inks, and other products can be made simply by dissolving.

[Feature 2] Easy to handle

Our solid dispersed products are shaped like chips, so there's no need to worry about powder dispersal or paste-like stickiness.
Moreover, uniform composition allows for accurate and constant mixing ratios.
This reduces variation from lot to lot.
We also offer these chips as dissolution products (liquid dispersion products) based on the needs of the customer.

[Feature 3] Cost savings

Eliminating the dispersion process means not needing grinding machines.
Dissolve only as much as you need when you need, and eliminate waste.

[Feature 4] High-quality paint and ink production

Pigment dispersion results in pigments being evenly dispersed to a sophisticated degree, resulting in products that excel in coating luster, transparency, color expression, and tinting strength.
