Talk:Cellophane

Cling film

Most "cling film" (i.e. plastic food wrap) I've ever seen has said it's made of PVC, not cellulose...? Tjwood 18:23, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)

You are right (although there are non-PVC versions, which are still not made of cellulose). I changed the article. --Heron 21:04, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I heard there is currently only one supplier of cellophane in the entire world. Does anyone know if that is true? And if it is, would it be relevant enough for the article? Qaddosh 12:02, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

Punctuation

With one noticeable exception, every punctuation mark in this article is either a comma or an exclamation point. --67.171.78.104 00:00, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

Invention

On the British Cellophane page it states that "The process for manufacturing cellulose film from viscose was discovered by three English chemists, Charles Frederick Cross, Edward John Bevan and Clayton Beadle in 1898."

On this page it states "Cellophane was invented in 1908 by Jacques E. Brandenberger, a Swiss textiles engineer."

Seems to need a bit of clarification.

lol

From the page: "It is also used in the making of bendy rulers, although it is not common."

Strange line to end the article —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.200.106.168 (talk) 22:42, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

Genericised Trademark in the UK

I disagree with this statement: "The word cellophane has become genericized in the US ... However, in the UK and in many other countries it is still a registered trademark and the property of Innovia Films Ltd."

The implication here is that "Cellophane" is not a generic term in the UK, when it most definitely is. It may still be a registered trademark, but it is widely used to refer to any type of film wrapping, which I thought was the very definition of a genericized trademark. The reference cited is 27 years old. 86.132.58.253 (talk) 11:58, 27 November 2010 (UTC)
