So I conclude it´s basically insignificant which version I use (alcohol, ketone or other). For pyro applications they will are work well, right?

yes the solvent evaporates so the NC is all that remains

Thanks for your help. I will buy some and give it a try. I hope the NC content is large enough.

Just something to note. The good NC will not be soluble in alcohol. However, I believe the solutions are dilutable with alcohol. Just watch out for clouding. I'd imagine enough alcohol could crash some out. I don't know what grade of NC is generally used, but I think it's at least a mid-grade nitration 11.4 or 5 perhaps.
