Cellulose acetate

Origin : Italy 

Cellulose acetate is a polymer derived from cellulose, a natural substance found mainly in plant cell walls. To make cellulose acetate, cellulose is treated with acetic acid and acetic anhydride, which modifies its chemical structure and makes it a stronger, more resistant material.

Cellulose acetate is widely used in a variety of fields, including the textile and plastics industries. In the textile industry, it is used to manufacture man-made fibers, such as cellulose acetate triacetate, which is often used to make elegant, lightweight garments.

As a plastic, cellulose acetate is used to manufacture films, sheets, moldings and coatings for a variety of industrial and artistic applications. It is also used in the manufacture of spectacle frames, combs, brushes, knife handles and other products.

Cellulose acetate is valued for its transparency, durability, impact resistance and ease of processing. What's more, it's biodegradable, making it an environmentally-friendly choice compared with some synthetic plastics.
