Do you think that the scales will hold up?
Cellulose Acetate Butyrate or CAB. Unlike other common synthetic plastics, the cellulosic plastics are not manufactured by polymerizing a monomer. Instead, they are produced by the chemical modification of cellulose, a natural polymer. Cellulose itself is not a thermoplastic, since it will not melt. Yet , by the viscose process, it is made into film (cellophane) and into fiber (rayon) that compete with the products of its thermoplastic derivatives.Butyrate, cellulose acetate butyrate, tubing is ideal in any length for storage, packaging and shipping. Tubes are transparent and rigid with excellent dimensional stability and rigid with excellent dimensional stability and high impact strength. They are strong, durable and easy to fabricate. Butyrate tubing can be cut and sawed with standard equipment.Cellulosics, as a group, are characterized by good strength, toughness, and high surface gloss. In addition, they have good chemical resistance, good clarity, sparkle, and will take decoration readily. Cellulose acetate butyrate is tougher than acetate and has lower moisture absorption. It resists weathering and has excellent transparency. Although it is adversely affected by alcohol, alkalis, paint removers, and acetones, it is resistant to most household chemicals. Additionally, CAB is resistant to the harmful effects of ultra-violet radiation.It is used for high gloss vacuum formed faces in back lighted signs, especially small point of purchase signs. Designers of display units especially like CAB sheet for its deep-draw properties, ease of formability, and impact resistance.....

Welcome to SOSAKOnline Micky D! There's probably lots of stuff there that only I seem to know about.... Def
With 227 articles, it's easy to miss something there.I swear I'll organize everything better eventually!Def
There's actually many more than that- they just aren't all published. The other ones are mostly specials that we ran, one time things and so on... Keeps me pretty busy, that's for sure! ;DDef
You're telling me!It's a good thing it's raining today so I can get some authentic Farmer pictures! Def
Some sod wrote not only an article about the Farmer, but wrote an article about a Farmer in the rain which I and my very wet dog and my wet camera will have to thank him profusely for! Seriously, good article and I am certain everyone will agree in a few days!Def
