duct tape adhensive NITRATE?
''Adhesive compound
The adhesive used in duct tape is unique for two reasons. First, the adhesive itself is formulated with rubber compounds that ensure long-term
bonding. Other tapes typically use adhesive polymers that are not as binding. Second, the adhesive is applied to the substrate in a much thicker
coating than those used on cellophane or masking tapes. This too serves to increase the adhesive properties of the tape.''

so i was attempting to distill hno3 once again again
99%
i left a piece of duct tape sitting in contact with the NO2/HNO3 99% vapours
the stuff made some yellow solid-gel ish thingy which is pretty well colouring
it dripped down into the flash with the 99% HNO3 as it wasnt very succesful (too high tubing)
it was PTFE, so it wasnt part of this weird colouring compound
i believe it can be the adhensive
whats more interesting is that when i dumped some cellulose into the remaining acid mix and neutralized i used ammonia, at this point i saw bloodred
nearly flouroscent red forming on the cellulose! (or well NC at this point)
probably this has more than just colour properties.. i mean its a organic compound (most likely) it reacted with the HNO3 and it changes colour when
ammonia is added (or pH turned basic)
anybody got a clue on what this could be?

Did you MSDS ducttape?
U.T.F.S.E. and learn the joys of autodidacticism!
Don't judge each day only by the harvest you reap, but also by the seeds you sow.
