Celluloid
open-in-new
<p>Celluloids are a class of <a href="/facts/Material/Rmt5HySL">materials</a> produced by mixing <a href="/facts/Nitrocellulose/5NoD5eTm">nitrocellulose</a> and <a href="/facts/Camphor/53KvP2Rw">camphor</a>, often with added dyes and other agents. Once much more common for its use as <a href="/facts/Photographic_film/37aFq6ls">photographic film</a> before the advent of safer methods, celluloid's common present-day uses are for manufacturing <a href="/facts/Table_tennis/4dGt6tqM">table tennis balls</a>, musical instruments, combs, office equipment, <a href="/facts/Fountain_pen/p2cmesjV">fountain pen</a> bodies, and <a href="/facts/Guitar_pick/NLS7edbX">guitar picks</a>. </p>
