cellophane invention accident brandenberger

shared by Jessi Bennett on 15 Jan 14 - No Cached
  • In fact, it was a stained tablecloth that led to the transparent food protector - cellophane.
  • One day in 1900, Dr. Jacques E. Brandenberger was sitting in a cafe in his native Switzerland, when a hapless customer spilled a glass of wine. That fateful accident would change the landscape of food service forever.
  • While watching the waiter change the tablecloth, Brandenberger had an idea - a stain-resistant tablecloth. He wasn't sure how he'd accomplish it, but it seemed logical to apply a waterproof, flexible coating that would make the tablecloth stainproof.

  • Brandenberger had failed to find a waterproof tablecloth, but had instead invented a clear, flexible, plastic coating.
  • In 1923 La Cellophane reached an agreement with DuPont to allow that company to market Cellophane in the United States as a flexible covering for food.
  • The first use of this new plastic film was in gas masks.
  • In 1917 Brandenberger gave his patents to La Cellophane Societe Anonyme and joined that organization.
  • By 1938, cellophane sales accounted for 25 percent of DuPont's annual profit.
  • Wood, paper, and cotton all contain cellulose.

  • Cellophane was invented by Swiss chemist Jacques E. Brandenberger while employed by Blanchisserie et Teinturerie de Thaon. Inspired by seeing a wine spill on a restaurant's tablecloth, he decided to create a cloth that could repel liquids rather than absorb them.
  • His first step was a waterproof spray coating made of viscose. The coated fabric was stiff, but the clear film easily separated from the backing cloth, and he abandoned his original idea in favor of the new filmy material.
  • It took ten years for Brandenberger to improve the film by adding glycerin

  • en the material. By 1912 he had a machine to manufacture the film, which he had named Cellophane, from the words cellulose and diaphane ("transparent"). Cellophane was patented that year. The following year, Comptoir des Textiles Artificiels (CTA) bought the Thaon firm's interest in Cellophane and established Brandenberger in a new company, La Cellophane.      
  • Whitman's candy company first used cellophane in 1912 for wrapping their "Whitman's Sampler."
  • DuPont built the first cellophane plant in the U.S.

  • 25 percent of DuPont’s 1938 annual profit.
  • Cellophane was invented by Jacques E. Brandenberger, a Swiss chemist. Up until the early 1920s, if an American businesses wanted to use the wrap they had to import it from Europe. DuPont acquired U.S. patent rights for cellophane in 1923 and, a year later, built the first cellophane manufacturing plant in the country.

  • 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.

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.
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • 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.

  • Cellophane is produced by dissolving wood pulp or other cellulose material in an alkali with carbon disulfide, neutralizing the alkaline solvent with an acid, extruding the precipitate into a sheet, impregnating it with glycerine, and then drying and cutting the sheets to the desired size.
  • Cellophane was invented about 1910 by the Swiss chemist Jacques Brandenberger (1873?–1954), who in 1912 invented the first machines for large-scale production and established a factory near Paris.
