Nitric acid esters

Usage examples of nitrocellulose.

For example: when sawdust is nitrated, it becomes nitrocellulose, and is used in smokeless powder.

Along with bags of cotton ready to be turned into nitrocellulose, and multiple Casio watches, wires, connectors, lightbulbs, and fuses, Yousef purchased a series of small portable 60-Hz Tecnogas model Tec-6 heating stoves.

He discussed the chemistry of making nitrocellulose, and the use of Casio watches as timers.

Yousef told Parker to take the nitrocellulose with him back to Pakistan and meet him in five days.

Attorney Garcia and his cocounsel, Dietrich Snell, built a meticulous case that put Yousef inside PAL Flight 434 as he built the bomb, inside the Dona Josefa as he constructed the Casio timers, and inside Room 16 at the Su Casa as he stuffed nitrocellulose into toy cars in a desperate attempt to perfect the Bojinka plot and blow up U.

He opened the center drawer of a desk in what was to have been his HQ, a cleared secure building, and five pounds of nitroglycerine and nitrocellulose blew him open and spread him all over the room, along with a colonel and his sergeant major.

Equipment ranging from simple column chromatography setups to sophisticated liquid scintillation counters sat atop the counter, alongside agar-filled petri dishes and folded nitrocellulose filters.

But the nitrocellulose caseless cartridges were all used up in discharging the 4.

And its ammunition uses a propellant whose cook-off point is one hundred degrees higher than the standard nitrocellulose powders which-was She waved a dismissing hand.

He found that smokeless power is produced by colloiding nitrocellulose with special solvents followed by a drying process and that the nitroglycerine bonded with the nitrocellulose and would not separate in storage.

Slower-firing and less destructive than a tribarrel they might have been, but a thousand rounds per minute, even from an obsolete nitrocellulose weapon, were quite sufficient to turn a human body into a finely suspended red mist.

A person attempting to make this should use 92 percent nitroglycerin and 8 percent nitrocellulose, and pray.

We pressed a series of gelatin-coated photographic papers onto the comforter with a hot iron and then treated the papers to find the presence of nitrates, which would be found if there existed nitrocellulose on the comforter that had been incompletely burned.

The radio was on all day as Tatiana filled her flamethrowers with thick petroleum and nitrocellulose, while through the open double doors the metal machine poured projectiles of different sizes onto the conveyor belt.

Instead of the usual beaker full of liquid BZ reaction, he prepared a tall stack of porous nitrocellulose filter papers saturated with the same chemicals.
