[QUOTE="DocDoc, post: 1649445, member: 69144"] It is not plastic. It is nitrated organic, usually cotton or cellulose as a base. For double base powders, there is a percentage of nirtoglycerine. Both types have small amounts of other additives, that help control the rate of combustion and/or other features like copper removal. BTW, water, acetone, and ether are polar, not ionic solvents. Typically plastics are produced by some polymerization reaction and are insoluble in most common solvents. Guncotton, the base for powder is soluble, as you could not make smokeless powder without that property. Gentle answer... [/QUOTE]
