Energetic nitrocellulose
 
 
It has taken advantage of its energetic properties of some nitrocellulose grades for propulsive powder and dynamite.

Bergerac NC proposes nitrocellulose, named CP (Powder Cotton), which enter in the composition of Simple Base Powders, Double Base Powders, Triple Base Powders and Spheric Powders and Combustible cartridges.
These products are used for Gun Powders, Hunting Powders, missile engines, seat belt pretensioner.

The different types of CP are :
- CP1 with a high nitrogen content (> 13 %)
- CP2 soluble in ether/alcohol blends, with a nitrogen content (from 12 to 13%)
- CPMF blend of CP1 and CP2

Nitrocellulose is also used on the making of Dynamite. Grades suitable for this usage are CA2 (Blasting Cotton). This type of nitrocellulose can absorb several tmes its weight of Nitroglycerine and they give to the Dynamite, high energetic properties as well as a good stability with time.
