Abstract
Nitrocellulose stabilization process has been investigated with the as sumption that it occurs by capillary effects. The acceleration effect has been observed if surfactants were presented. Surfactants, selected to tests, are not affected by reaction with acids, and their traces r emaining in the product do not change its stability. Time of stabiliza tion can be several times reduced if content of surfactant in the bath reaches 0,1%, what substantially reduces water and energy consumption .
