Dimensionally stable, nitrocellulose coated cellophane

A process which includes the steps of passing a purified gel regenerated cellulose film through an aqueous solution containing, as a plasticizer for such film, polyethylene glycol having an average molecular weight between 285 and 4,000 and a water-soluble cellulose ether having a concentration not less than about 0.3% by weight in the aqueous solution and selected from the group consisting of methyl cellulose and hydroxyalkyl methyl cellulose and mixtures thereof, and thereafter drying the plasticized gel regenerated cellulose film, the water-soluble cellulose ether in the aqueous solution being sufficient to provide the dried film with an amount thereof which is effective to at least minimize the migration of the plasticizer.
