ChemSpec, Ltd said it will begin distributing The Dow Chemical Company’s WALSRODER Nitrocellulose and WALSRODER NC-Chip products across the United States.

“We feel that this relationship will enable us to move further into the inks and coatings manufacturing sectors, where we already have a growing presence with parts of our product portfolio,” said ChemSpec President Dave Moreland. 

WALSRODER Nitrocellulose and NC-Chips are derivatives of cellulose and commonly known as cellulose nitrate.

These products are used in a wide array of coating applications, but are most commonly used as binders in printing ink and wood coating formulas, said ChemSpec’s Marketing and Law Director, Christopher Wagner.


WALSRODER Nitrocellulose products come in a variety of options: such as high and low viscosity grades and dampened with isopropanol, ethanol, or water. WALSRODER NC-CHIPS come plasticized with phthalate-free plasticizers.
