Nitrogen content influences the solubility and thermoplasticity of nitrocellulose. Low nitrogen grades of nitrocellulose have a higher solubility in alcohols and higher thermoplasticity. The selection of proper grade of nitrocellulose will depend on the solvent system and the thermoplasticity requirement.

The viscosity of the grade determines the strength and durability of the nitrocellulose film. Low viscosity grades are suitable for applications where high solids and gloss are primary requirements as in case of printing inks.
The high viscosity grades provide better durability and resistance to films as desired in auto refinish paints.
