Anyone know where to get real cellophane, AU pref.
I used to seal jam jars with it. The modern stuff called celophane is not cellophane and is made from pe. I think it is an other word stolen from us like *** which does not mean the same any more. |

What is "pe?" Do you mean paraffin, not cellophane? Cellophane here in the US has been the same clear, papery crisp product since at least the 40s. You couldn't seal anything with it without putting tape around it to hold it in place. Paraffin is wax-like; I have used it to seal jellies and jams. N. |

"Cellophane" brings up 5200+ items on Amazon, most of which appear to made of real cellulose rather than LDPE like newer plastic wraps (Glad Wrap, Saran Wrap, etc.) I'm sure you could find rolls of the stuff in craft stores. -- Silvar Beitel |

I have seen colored cellophane used as decoration under the bands and over the lids of home-canned stuff for gifts. Or just ribbon-tied over the lidded jar. Perhaps that's the OP's intention?

She would seal the jars with paraffin wax and then put a piece of cellophane over the mouth and screw the top on. It did a pretty good job of keeping the jars sealed. |

The trademark was used "all over" the world, and remains a > trademark in certain countries. > > Cellophane is the name given to the original celulose stuff invented by this bloke. Cellophane was invented by Swiss chemist Jacques E. Brandenberger while employed by Blanchisserie et Teinturerie de Thaon.[1] In 1900, 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 to spray a waterproof coating on to fabric, and he opted to try viscose. The resultant coated fabric was far too stiff, but the clear film easily separated from the backing cloth, and he abandoned his original idea as the possibilities of the new material became apparent. It took ten years for Brandenberger to perfect his film, his chief improvement over earlier work with such films being to add glycerin to soften the material. By 1912 he had constructed a machine to manufacture the film, which he had named Cellophane, from the words cellulose and diaphane ("transparent"). Cellophane was patented that year.[2] The following year, the company Comptoir des Textiles Artificiels (CTA) bought the Thaon firm's interest in Cellophane and established Brandenberger in a new company, La Cellophane SA.[3] The trademark is now used on non cellulose polyethylene effectively taking the name from the real stuff and giving it to the plastic stuff. This is what you can do with the real stuff. To seal jam I used to wet cellophane with vinegar then place it on the jar with an elastic band and as it dried it would shrink hollow making a part vacuum, you can not do this with the plastic stuff. I would like to know where to get more. |
