Understanding Acetate: The Basics

Acetate, also known as cellulose acetate, is a plant-based plastic that was first prepared in 1865. Although it shares some similarities with petroleum-based plastics, it boasts a vastly different identity.

"Acetate: A distinct blend of strength, flexibility, and sheer brilliance!"

Acetate is derived from cellulose by treating it with acetic acid & acetic anhydride and then produced by introducing plasticizers. It's a high-quality plastic, with a glossy finish and lasting durability.
