"On whether cellulose acetate is a plastic"

Today there is a thing called cellulose acetate, and the world often wonders whether it is a plastic or not.

Viewing plastics are mostly based on synthetic polymers and have many characteristics, such as plasticity and durability. Cellulose acetate is made from cellulose and chemically modified. Cellulose is a natural thing, but its properties have changed after reacting with acetic anhydride.

It has good film-forming and plasticity. It can be made into films, fibers and other forms, and is used in daily necessities and industrial materials. This is similar to the characteristics of plastics that can be shaped according to demand.

And its chemical stability is quite good, it can be stored for a long time in a certain environment, and it is not easily damaged by external factors. This is also similar to common plastics.

However, it is also said that cellulose acetate is derived from natural cellulose, which is different from completely synthetic plastics. But after careful consideration, although many plastics may have different raw materials, their performance is the key factor after chemical processing.

In summary, cellulose acetate belongs to the list of plastics in terms of its plasticity, chemical stability and wide application.
