cellophane inventor Brandenberger

shared by Jessi Bennett on 13 Jan 14 - No Cached
  • Cellophane was invented by Jacques E. Brandenberger in 1908, a Swiss textile engineer who first thought of the idea for a clear, protective, packaging layer in 1900.
  • Brandenberger was seated at a restaurant when a customer spilt wine onto the tablecloth. As the waiter replaced the cloth, Brandenberger decided that he would invent a clear flexible film that could be applyed to cloth, making it waterproof.
  • tried applying liquid viscose (a cellulose product known as rayon) to cloth, but the viscose made the cloth too stiff. His idea failed but he noted that the coating peeled off in a transparent film. Like so many inventions, the original use was abandoned and new and better uses were found.

  • By 1908, he developed the first machine for the manufacture of transparent sheets of regenerated cellulose. By 1912, Brandenberger was making a saleable thin flexible film used in gas masks.
  • In 1917 Brandenberger assigned his patents to La Cellophane Societe Anonyme and joined that organization.
  • In the manufacturing process, an alkaline solution of cellulose fibres (usually wood or cotton) known as viscose is extruded through a narrow slit into an acid bath. The acid regenerates the cellulose, forming a film. Further treatment, such as washing and bleaching, yields cellophane.

  • The mobile phone may be seen as a new technology in our day, but the idea was actually first conceived in the year 1908.
  • This statement is only true because the mobile phone is actually a high-tech radio. In 1908 a man named Nathan B. Stubblefield who lived in Murray, Kentucky applied for the U.S. Patent 887,357 for a wireless telephone; he originally applied his patent to only radio telephones.
  • Martin Cooper did not make the first working mobile phone, he made the first portable mobile phone.

  • Jacques Brandenberger, a Swiss chemist, was not trying to make something to cover your pork chops in 1908. He worked in a French textile firm and was looking for a way to make a stain proof tablecloth.
  • It took him ten years to develop a machine that would produce what he named  cellophane.
  • Cellophane became available to the public in 1919. In 1927 a waterproof lacquer coating was developed that made it more useful. With the lacquer coating, cellophane could be used to package food, since it was airtight and waterproof.

  • While his father wanted to reserve the product for film use, Frank Factor was open to the commercial possibilities and began developing lighter shades.
  • At the time the company was only able to produce enough to meet studio demand which until production could be increased delayed commercial release until 1937.

  • After his father's death in 1938,[2] Frank Factor at the urging of his family legally changed his name to Max Factor, Jr. and as president expanded the still private cosmetics firm, along with members of the immediate family.
