What is Cellophane and what is it used for?

Question

What is it made of?

Answer 1

Cellophane is a thin, transparent sheet made of regenerated cellulose. Its low permeability (ability of substances to pass through pores) to air, oils and greases, and bacteria makes it useful for food packaging.

Whitman's candy company initiated use of cellophane for candy wrapping in the United States in 1912 for their Whitman's Sampler.

Cellulose film has been manufactured continuously since the mid-1930s and is still used today. As well as packaging a variety of food items, there are also industrial applications, such as a base for such self-adhesive tapes as Sellotape and Scotch Tape, a semi-permeable membrane in a certain type of battery, as dialysis tubing (Visking tubing) and as a release agent in the manufacture of fibreglass and rubber products.

The word "cellophane" has become genericized in the US, and is often used informally to refer to a wide variety of plastic film products, even those not made of cellulose.

Answer 3

Cellophane is a plastic, foil-like material, like the Saran Wrap you would use to cover foods. It is made of Celluose fibers from wood, cotton, or hemp, which is dissolved in alkali and carbon disulfide, and then soaked in sulfuric acid and sodium sulfate. It is then bathed to remove the toxic sulfates, and put to use.

sounds like it'll make alot of plastic fumes, so maybe make sure you do it in a well-ventilated area I suggest you try it out and see if it works (being prepared with sand etc in case it goes wrong and explodes the container or something)
