Cellulose nitrate was first used as a base for photographic roll film by George Eastman in 1889; it was used for photographic and professional 35mm motion picture film until the 1950s. It is highly flammable and also decomposes with age, becoming toxic. When new, nitrate film could be ignited with the heat of a cigarette; partially decomposed, it c...
There are five stages in the decomposition of nitrate film: 1. Amber discolouration with fading of picture 2. The emulsion becomes adhesive and films stick together; film becomes brittle 3. The film contains gas bubbles and gives off a noxious odour 4. The film is soft, welded to adjacent film and frequently covered with a viscous froth 5. The film...
Nitrate movie film was made mostly in the professional 35mm gauge, though in the 1890s and the early years of this century some amateur film stocks, such as 17.5mm, were cut down from 35mm film. 8mm, Super 8, 9.5mm and 16mm movie film was always manufactured with a safety (non-flammable) base, as were the earlier Edison 22mm and Pathé 28mm films. 3...
One way of testing if a film is on nitrate base is to apply a small drop of film cement (amyl acetate or ethyl acetate) to the base side. If it is nitrate, the base will immediately become quite tacky. Safety film will not, though there might be a white deposit left. The laboratory method is to put the piece of film into a tube of trichloroethylene...
The inevitable deterioration of nitrate film is accelerated by damp, heat and fluctuating conditions. It should be kept cool, at a constant 50°F (10°C) with a relative humidity of 40–50%. Temperatures over 80°F (27°C) and relative humidities exceeding 60% should be avoided. The film gives off fumes which accelerate the decomposition process and als...
