Physical and Chemical Properties
White or slightly yellow cotton-like material, soluble in acetone. Due to variations in nitration conditions during the nitrocellulose process, the nitrogen content also varies, resulting in different solubilities. Nitrogen content exceeding 12.5% is explosive and highly unstable. Relative density: 1.66, Melting Point: 160–170°C
