What solvent would you recommend for high viscosity nitrocellulose ?
Low molecular weight alcohols and ketones are generally excellent solvents for cellulose nitrate, e.g. n-butanol, acetone and methylethylketone (MEK). Since cellulose nitrate, or nitrocellulose, often has to be mixed with plasticisers or soft resins, its reaction to solvent may differ slightly under these circumstances.
