Cellophane

== Description ==
A strong, transparent, flexible thin film of regenerated cellulose. The term 'Cellophane' was originally a trademark for a product patented in 1908 by J.Brandenberger. Now the term is used generically for cellulose films produced from wood pulp by the viscose process. Cellophane is resistant to grease and oils, accepts dyes well and does not accumulate static electricity. The transparent film is made moisture proof by passing the extruded sheet through a dilute lacquer bath. Early applications for cellophane included use as a moisture proof wrapping for food. Currently, cellophane is used primarily for decorative packaging, fringes, and lacings.
== Synonyms and Related Terms ==
Francephane; viscose; celofán (Esp.); cellophane (Fr.); celofana (Port.); Cellophane® [Innovia Films]
== Risks ==
Flammable. Poor barrier film for gases and water vapor.

Celluloid

== Description ==
Celluloid was originally a trademark [Hoechst Celanese] and is now a generic term for cellulose nitrate plasticized with camphor. Celluloid was commercially produced in 1872 by John and Isaiah Hyatt after they patented the material in the U.S. in 1870 (#105,338). Celluloid was marketed as a substitute for ivory, horn, amber, tortoiseshell for use in piano keys, dolls, buttons, combs, brushes, mirrors, collars, dental plates, and other small items. The tough, transparent sheets and strips of celluloid were also used for photographic and motion picture films as well as animation cels. Celluloid film was cast from a solution of cellulose nitrate with wood alcohol (methanol), amyl nitrate, camphor and fusel oil (amyl alcohol). 
Note: Cellulose nitrate plasticized with camphor was patented in 1855 in England by Alexander Parkes and sold as Parkesine and later as Xylonite.

Cellulose

== Description ==
A complex natural carbohydrate, or polysaccharide, composed of long, connected chains of glucose molecules. Cellulose can have a molecular weight from 160,000 to 560,000. It is the primary component in the cell walls of plants where the cellulose molecules are often linked together in parallel units called microfibrils. Pure cellulose is an odorless, tasteless white powder. Cellulose exists in three forms: alpha, beta and gamma. Alpha cellulose has the highest degree of polymerization (DP) and is the chief constituent of paper pulp. Cotton is composed of about 90% alpha cellulose. The beta and gamma cellulose have a much lower DP and are collectively known as hemicellulose. Cellulose is used to manufacture paper and textiles. It is also a raw material in the manufacture of rayon, cellophane, cellulose acetate, and celluloid.
== Synonyms and Related Terms ==
flour cellulose; cellulose (Fr.); celulosa (Esp.); Zellstoff (Deut.); cellulosa (It.); celulose (Port.)

Cellulose acetate butyrate

== Description ==
A thermoplastic polymer composed cellulose esterified with both acetic acid and butyric acid. Cellulose acetate butyrate (CAB) became a commercial product in 1938. It is similar for cellulose diacetate except that it is tougher, more durable and has better dimensional stability. CAB is used for photographic film, varnishes and moldings. It is often found in sheets and has been sold under the name of motion picture safety film. CAB was used for x-ray films until 1947 when triacetates were added.

Cellulose diacetate

== Description ==
Cellulose acetate resin that has an average of 2-2.5 acetate groups per glucose unit. In 1865, Schutzenberger developed a method to acetylate cellulose. This method and others produced fully acetylated cellulose triacetate (at that time called cellulose acetate). In 1906, Miles discovered that cellulose triacetate could be partially hydrolyzed to form a cellulose acetate product that was softer and more soluble. It was initially called secondary cellulose acetate and soon became the only form of cellulose acetate being used. Thus cellulose diacetate became commonly called cellulose acetate or simply acetate. Produced by Dreyfus of France, cellulose acetate became popular for motion picture film in 1910. It was used for lacquers especially for dope on airplane wings during WW I. By 1919, acetate was developed into a fiber (Celanese®) and by 1927 acetate was being used for fabrics, coatings, photographic film, and molded pieces.
== Synonyms and Related Terms ==
CDA; secondary acetate; cellulose acetate; acetate; acetato de celulosa (Esp.); acetato de celulose (Port.); 
Examples: Dicel; Silene;
== Risks ==
Cellulose acetate degradation produces acetic acid. Self-extinguishing.
== Physical and Chemical Properties ==
* Soluble in acetone, phenol and chloroform. Insoluble in methylene chloride. 
* Resistant to dilute alkalis and dry-cleaning solvents.

Cellulose ester

== Description ==
Before oil was discovered, the earliest synthetic polymers were made by chemically modifying naturally occurring bio-based molecules like cellulose. Cellulose nitrate (CN), invented in 1832 and patented in 1846, was adapted for use as a substitute for ivory, a base for photographic film, and as a component for clear lacquers, adhesives, and high gloss paints. Cellulose acetate (CA), invented in 1865 and patented in 1894, replaced cellulose nitrate because its flammability was lower than that of CN. Both materials can decompose at room temperature. Ultraviolet light, heat, and/or high humidity may hasten decomposition. Both materials remain commercially available and are used as adhesives and coatings. More recently, other cellulose esters have been developed with better properties in respect to weathering, adhesion, and lacquer formation, including cellulose acetate butyrate (CAB) and cellulose acetate propionate (CAP).
== Synonyms and Related Terms ==

Cellulose ether

== Description ==
A class of water-soluble polymers with a cellulose backbone and ether containing substituents. In general, cellulose ethers are white bulky solids that form clear, hygroscopic films. They were first produced commercially in the 1920s in Germany and the 1930s in the United States. Cellulose ethers are made by treating cellulose with concentrated sodium hydroxide followed by etherification with one or more reagents such as methyl chloride, ethyl chloride, ethylene oxide or propylene oxide. They are used as adhesives, poultices, consolidants and coatings. Aging studies indicate that methyl cellulose (MC), hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose (HPMC) and carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) polymers have very good stability with negligible discoloration or weight loss (Feller and Wilt 1990). Ethyl cellulose (EC), organic soluble ethylhydroxyethyl cellulose (OS-EHEC) and hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC) are not recommended for long-term use (Feller and Wilt 1990).
