Technology

  • Nitrocellulose

    Nitrocellulose

    Is a highly flammable material made by treating cellulose with concentrated nitric acid, used to make explosives and celluloid.
  • Celluloid

    Celluloid

    Is a transparent flammable plastic made in sheets from camphor and nitrocellulose, formerly used for cinematographic film.
  • Bakelite

    Bakelite

    Is a type of hard plastic that was used in the past for making things such as telephones and radios.
  • Rayon

    Rayon

    Is a regenerated cellulose fiber that is made from natural sources of cellulose
  • Cellophane

    Cellophane

    Is a natural polymer derived from cellulose. It has the appearance of a film that is thin, transparent, flexible and resistant to tensile stress.
  • Polyvinyl chloride (PVC)

    Polyvinyl chloride (PVC)

    Is a tough chemically resistant synthetic resin made by polymerizing vinyl chloride and used for a wide variety of products including pipes, flooring, and sheeting.
  • Neoprene

    Neoprene

    Is a synthetic polymer resembling rubber, resistant to oil, heat, and weathering.
  • Nylon and neoprene

    Nylon and neoprene

    Neoprene and Nylon are man-made and chemically stable. Nylon is a generic designation for a family of synthetic polymers, more specifically aliphatic or semi-aromatic polyamides. And neoprene is a synthetic polymer resembling rubber, resistant to oil, heat, and weathering.
  • Polyethylene

    Polyethylene

    Is a plastic polymer of ethylene used chiefly for containers, electrical insulation, and packaging.
  • Teflon

    Teflon

    Is a plastic material that is highly resistant to heat and corrosion that is used to make coatings.
  • Tupperware

    Tupperware

    Is a range of plastic containers used for storing food.
  • Kevlar

    Kevlar

    Is a artificial fiber, light, robust and with great resistance to heat.
  • Polyester amides

    Polyester amides

    Are prominent polymers, which can combine the stiffness and the excellent thermal and mechanical properties of polyamides with the biocompatibility and biodegradability of polyesters.
