Cellulose acetate, white powder, is the general name for the acetic acid esters of cellulose, cellulose pentaacetate, C6H5(OOCCH3)5, cellulose tetraacetate, C6H6(OOCCH3)4 and cellulose triacetate,C6H7O2(OOCCH3)3. Cellulose acetate occurs as a hygroscopic white to off-white, freeflowing powder, pellet, or flake. It is tasteless and odorless, or may have a slight odor of acetic acid.Cellulose acetate is a tough, flexible, slow-burning and long-lasting material used in the production of plastic film for food packaging,magnetic tape, and movie film.
