Apart from the basic nitrocellulose, the two base powders contain nitro esters, usually nitro glycerine (10-38%) as the propellant. Moreover, the powders contain small amounts of chemical stabilizers or other substances similar to single base powders.
Two base powders might have higher energy content than single base powders. Their caloric content varies depending on their types within the range of 3,800 – 5,200 kJ/kg. Their ballistic and additional features are more of interest to users than those of single base powders. The powder granules can be in the shape of cylinders, tubes, flakes, discs, bands, or spheroids.
