e/Catalin

Information
has gloss	eng: Catalin is a brand name for a thermosetting polymer popular in the 1930s. Chemically, it is a phenol formaldehyde resin. Catalin is a cast bakelite product, with a different manufacturing process (two-stage process) than other types of Bakelite resins (without using fillers such as sawdust or carbon black). Catalin is transparent, near colorless, rather than opaque, brown, so unlike other bakelite phenolics it can be dyed bright colors or even marbled. This has made Catalin more popular than other types of Bakelite. In the 1930-50's it quickly replaced most plastic consumer goods.
