Sheeted Nitrocellulose for Combustible Case Cartridges (Army)
Abstract
Sheeted Nitrocellulose for Combustible Case Cartridge project will qualify the hammer-mill process for production of sheeted nitrocellulose (NC). Sheeted NC is currently made for combustible cartridge cases using baled cotton linters imported from Israel. There is no domestic source of baled cotton linters. Enough baled cotton linters were purchased to support sheeted NC production through FY 2011. This project will eliminate the risk of supply disruption of sheeted nitrocellulose for combustible case cartridges for the army by qualifying a process to decompose sheeted cotton linters.
