Note: Originally a trademarked name for a hard and polishable plastic material made from albumen from blood or egg white mixed with hardwood sawdust and coloring. The mixture was steam-heated and poured into molds, where it cooled to form a hard, dense, glossy object. Patented by François Charles Lepage in France and England 1855-1856, the invention was later bought by A. Latry, a manufacturer of desk wares such as inkwells and decorative boxes.The material was also used for combs, pipe stems, inkwells, and plaques, and medallions for furniture.

Additional Notes: |
|
| Dutch ..... Oorspronkelijk een handelsmerknaam voor hard en polijstbaar plastic dat was gemaakt van albumen van bloed of eiwit, gemengd met zaagsel van hardhout en kleurstof. Het mengsel werd met stoom verhit en in mallen gegoten, en na afkoeling ontstond een hard, compact, glanzend object. François Charles Lepage kreeg in 1855-1856 in Frankrijk en Engeland octrooi op deze uitvinding, die later werd gekocht door A. Latry, fabrikant van artikelen zoals inktpotten en sierdozen. Het materiaal werd ook gebruikt voor kammen, pijpenstelen en broches, en voor medaillons in meubilair. |
