Cellulose Acetate


Cellulose acetate materials have been available on the market in the United States since 1927. The material is made by treating cotton with acetic acid, using sulfuric acid as a catalyst. Plasticizers such as dimethyl phthalate, are added. The material is non-flammable and yellows less than cellulose nitrate, but has not been successfully used in artistic painting. [p. 188]
