The material is indeed considered deacetylated. The molecular weight specification is given in terms of the number of monomeric units (greater than or equal to 400), but it often measures at 2000 units or higher. Recent lots (066K1894, 046K1080, 105K1648, and 065K1306) all have an average molecular weight of approximately 400,000. This is based on a monomer molecular weight of 203 and a degree of polymerization of 2000.
