Cellulose diacetate, sometimes called diacetate, is a

functional groups on each unit of D-anhydroglucopyranose of the cellulose molecule. It was first developed in the United States
.

It is fragile since it is based on cellulose. When cellulose diacetate deteriorates, it shrinks and releases acetic acid causing vinegar syndrome.

Cellulose diacetate has been used to make fabrics, membranes, filaments, and many consumer products. From 1922 to 1957 it was used to make

35 mm, and 70 mm. It has also been used in seed coating applications.[1]

In photography, a film substrate made from cellulose diacetate is called safety film.

Cellulose diacetate is

biodegradable.[3]
