also refers to cellulose acetate. Cellulose acetate or acetate rayon fiber is a synthetic fiber based on cotton or tree pulp cellulose. It is very economical petro-based fiber. Invented by Swiss brothers, Doctors Camille and Henri Dreyfus in Basel, Switzerland. The first commercial acetate filament was spun in the United States in 1924 and trademarked as Celanese.
Cellulosic fiber used as a braider yarn.

A generic term in modelling articles gene ral ly referring to a sheet of transparent plastic.
a transparent sheet placed over artwork where the artist writes instructions or indicates where second color is to be placed. Also known as Overlay. (also see amberlith)
Transparent sheet of plastic used to make overlays on mechanicals.
A clear film used for silkscreening artwork. Once embedded, film almost disappears and artwork seems to be floating within acrylic piece.
A synthetic fiber that is used for luxurious fabrics such as taffeta and satin. It is often blended with rayon.
Acetate, a synthetic manmade fabric, is manufactured from cellulose fibers and usually used in linings. It is an inexpensive fabric with poor washing abilities and should be dry-cleaned.
a fabric made from cellulose acetate fibers
a type of fibre chemically derived from cellulose.
A family of solvents also known as esters; example normal propyl acetate. One of, or the family of, cellulose acetate films.
a derivative of acetic acid.
Transparent film fitted over camera-ready artwork
A synthetic material derived from cellulose.
An Acetate sheet is a high quality, clear/transparent sheet of plastic. Acetate sheets are commonly used as a layer in multi-layer artworks. Acetate is also used for "overhead" transparency printing. (Also referred to as Mylar and clear layout base.)
A thin, plastic sheet of transparent paper used in crafting to make overlays. Acid-free: Any paper that has no acid. The paper therefore has a neutral PH of 7.0. Acid free paper is needed for archival purposes.
Clear plastic sheet used in a variety of techniques such as shaker cards, stained glass windows and cold water laminate. Printer and photocopies transparencies are also often used in these techniques.
A plastic material often used in an art department for tracing designs. In ink form, acetate is used as an opaquing tool.
A manufactured fiber formed by a compound of cellulose, refined from cotton linters and/or wood pulp, and acetic acid that has been extruded through a spinneret and then hardened.
A transparent plastic material used as a support for art work or an overlay.
A tough, clear plastic film that`s ink-receptive and a popular substrate for point-of-purchasing advertising.
An overlay or strike sheet made with cellulose acetate plastic.
Cellulose Acetate is a plastic that is available in polished optical sheet. Products made from this material should not be used for extremely low or high temperature applications.
Cellulose acetate or cellulose triacetate or cellulose acetate butyrate. Has the appearance, toughness, heat and solvent resistance found in polyesters.
The plastic sheet material often used for making stencils.
A transparent film that is used for various reasons in tape backings; the primary characteristic is that of being more moisture resistant than cellophane.
A strong, transparent or semi-transparent sheet of plastic.
Type of plastic often used in eyeglass frames.
A slow-burning base material frequently used for motion picture films. Also, in sheet form, for overlay cels.
clear plastic material used for animation cells
a transparent sheet placed over artwork allowing the artist to write instructions or indicate where second colour is to be placed. (See Overlay)
(CH3COO-, C2H3O2-) acetate ion. an ion formed by removing the acidic hydrogen of acetic acid, HC2H3O2. a compound derived by replacing the acidic hydrogen in acetic acid. A fiber made of cellulose acetate.
Thin, flexible sheet of transparent plastic made with acetic acid and sulfuric acid on cellulose, and used for textile fibers, photographic films, and varnishes.
Acidic plastic that causes photographs and documents to deteriorate and fade. Close Window
A transparent or translucent plastic sheet material of a variety of colors, used as a basis for artwork and overlays.
A plastic synthesized from cellulose dissolved in acetic acid which exhibits rigidity, dimension stability, and ink receptivity.
A clear film used for silkscreening. Once embedded, the film turns clear seems to be floating 3 dimensionally within acrylic piece.
In the photographic context, a transparent plastic base for photographic film made by treating cellulose with acetic acid. This term is used for various modifications of cellulose acetate, e.g., cellulose diacetate, cellulose triacetate, cellulose acetate propionate, and cellulose acetate butyrate.
A plastic film of 3 or 4 mil thickness used as an editing overlay.
Film positive or negative from which silk screens are produced. Also, a family of plastics for light transmission and surface protection.
A transparent sheet placed over originals or artwork, allowing the designer to write instructions and/or indicate a second colour for placement.
Transparent or translucent plastic sheet material coming in a variety of colors, used as a basis for artwork and overlays.
Acetate is a man-made fiber composed of acetylated cellulose.
Cellulose based thermoplastic
a form of acidic plastic that causes photo's, paper and documents to deteriorate and fade over time.
