context_page_description: Cellophane is a thin, transparent sheet made of regenerated cellulose. Its low permeability to air, oils, greases, bacteria, and water makes it useful for food packaging. Cellophane is highly permeable to water vapour, but may be coated with nitrocellulose lacquer to prevent this.
  As well as food packaging, cellophane is used in transparent pressure-sensitive tape, tubing and many other similar applications.
  Unlike many other similar materials, cellophane is biodegradable.
  "Cellophane" is a generic term in some countries, while in other countries it is a registered trademark.
