| Chemical Properties | Back Directory | [Definition]
Film produced from wood pulp by the viscose process. | [Appearance]
Transparent, strong, flexible, and highly resistant to grease, oil, and air. The base cellulose film is modified by softeners, flame-resisting materials, and dyes, also by coating with other materials. On exposure to heat the untreated film loses strength at 149C, decomposes at 176–204C, does not melt, burns readily, and is not self-extinguishing. | [Dielectric constant]
3.2（Ambient） | [Uses]
Wrapper or protective package for fabricated articles and industrial applications. | [CAS DataBase Reference]
9005-81-6 | [EPA Substance Registry System]
