Nitrocellulose lacquer in aerosols

Nitrocellulose lacquer in aerosols is primarily used as finisher for wooden furniture. Have you ever wondered how that guitar got its wonderful pristine finish? Have you ever wondered just what makes that grand piano shimmer with elegance? It will be down to the finish applied to it, and that is what a nitrocellulose lacquer is, the protective layer upon wood. Being delivered in aerosol form is the most predominant application method for instrument makers, and the lacquer itself is favoured for it toughness and durability, the vital protective measures to ensure that the instrument stays safe against the elements.

Nitrocellulose lacquer in aerosols is a common way to apply finishes to wood. The application of the lacquer by aerosol is popular because it is efficient as well as being clean. By accurate spraying, which is controlled by the nozzle on the canister and the type of gas propellant being used, the instrument maker can apply a coat without getting their hands dirty. It is a hygienic application process which helps speed along the covering of the surface. Because the spray mist is controlled, it is easy to apply a good even coat without having to touch anything with your hands. Warnings of course will come on the canister to use only in well ventilated places, and the canister should be disposed of safely afterwards.

Before the advent of the aerosol which is becoming increasingly popular to deliver all manners of products, a guitar maker for example, would use lacquers and wax applied by hand, carefully rubbed into the wood. The skilled craft of instrument making was brought into the modern age by lacquers which were made available in aerosols. Not only is the delivery of the lacquer safe, clean and efficient, the sprays can come in any manner of finish, from tinted colours to give an instrument a touch of flair or deep, warm rich tones. The top coat of nitrocellulose lacquer will of course be the matt or gloss finish.

Aerosols, since their bad reputation as ozone destroyers because of their chlorofluorocarbons, have seen resurgence in their popularity because of cleaner manufacturing methods and safer gases used inside of them. The key to aerosol popularity is that they are efficient, which fits into the plan of the modern day world, where everything is needed at pace. While the skills of the instrument maker in lacquering up their final product may have changed, the beauty and craftsmanship still remains the same. Preservation of the instrument for years to come against humidity and light will be enforced by the applications of the nitrocellulose lacquer in aerosols.
