Sl.No. Synosis Points
1 The nitrocellulose covered in the standard is used in the manufacture of lacquers for finishing of items like automobiles, wood, and leather; coatings for paper, fabric, tube light, stencil paper, and surgical films and in the manufacture of printing inks, adhesives, etc.
2 This standard was originally published in 1958. It was revised in 1968 and subsequently in 1976. The third revision was published in 1985. In the third revision, the nitrogen content and mineral matter were reduced and sulphate content was increased. Pulping fineness was deleted as this requirement is applicable in the case of explosive grade of nitrocellulose which is being covered by a separate standard.
3 This fourth revision has been taken up to update the ICS No and several other editorial changes in order to bring out the standard in the latest style and format of the Indian Standards.
