Twin Fads Idaho tor her question Who invented cellophane? Cellophane is a flexible, thin, moisture-resistan- t material made from plant fibers It was invented by a Swiss chemist. Jacques Edwin Brandenberger, in 1908 while he was trying to make a stainproof tablecloth. Brandenberger pro dueed a smooth, shiny cloth, hut it was brittle and could not he used Later he made a thin sheet of transparent film and applied it to the cloth. In 1911 he designed a machine to produce the film he called cellophane. Cellophane was first produced in the United States in 1924. It was not moistureproof at first. Goods wrapped in it had to be hand wrapped, because there were no wrapping machines. For these reasons, the first cellophane was used only to wrap luxury goods The cellophane industry grew fast after wrap ping machines and moi- HAVE VO 0 EVER BEEN scratched off a CHRISTMAS (ratoline LIST? lle the wag how TrTcr; tty Walts yThats a relief, js your dog? -v Bg fine, ( alln 00 WHAT ro?

The use ot cellophane then began to s decline in Ihe because of competition from plastics and other flexible packaging materials. In the the U S. had used about 300 million pounds of cellophane each year. Annual world use totaled about 25 billion pounds. Cellophane is made Irom cellulose, a substance found in plant fibers. Manufacturers use a chemical process to obtain cellulose from wood. Mactunes mix the cellulose with carbon dis- ufide The mixture is then dissolved in caustic soda to form a sticky liquid called viscose. mid-1960- mid-1970- B Dik Browne 1 I ordo Rx (An rriola ! j Beetle Bailev ID Mart -- JLiSV I I j Walker ' viscose flows The FEEL.

The acid changes the sheet of liquid into cellophane. Machines dip the cel- lophane into liquids that remove impurities from the product and make it flexible. About 95 percent of the cellophane made in the United States is used to package products that require protection from moisture.

Cellophane can be laminated or stuck to aluminum foil or paper to form special wrapping materials. Other products made of cellophane include drinking straws, envelopes, ribbons and sticky tape used for mending and sealing.
