Starry Sky Celluloid Sheet
What is Starry Sky Celluloid Sheet ?
Starry sky celluloid Sheet, by adding specific dyes, using special printing technology or embossing technology, etc., makes it present a starry sky visual effect. It can be used in decoration, handicraft production and other fields to add unique beauty and atmosphere to objects.
Production Process
Raw Material Mixing: Nitrocellulose, camphor, lubricants, and dyes are mixed in a specific proportion and thoroughly stirred and kneaded to form a uniform celluloid colloid.
Pearlescent Pigment Addition: An appropriate amount of pearlescent pigment is added to the celluloid colloid and continued stirring to ensure uniform distribution.
Molding: The mixed celluloid colloid containing pearlescent pigment is formed into a film of a desired thickness and width through processes such as calendaring, extrusion, or casting. Performance Characteristics
Appearance: Features a unique pearlescent luster that reflects and refracts light, creating a vibrant and colorful visual effect, reminiscent of natural materials like pearls and shells.
Flexibility: Due to the inherent properties of celluloid, pearlescent celluloid sheet exhibits excellent flexibility and elasticity, allowing it to bend and twist to a certain extent without breaking, making it suitable for applications requiring bending

Application
Jewelry: It can be used to create pendants and beads for necklaces and bracelets, as well as earrings and hairpins. Its unique shell texture and luster add a natural beauty and sophistication to any piece, making it even more appealing.
Clothing: It can be cut into various shapes and used as decorative elements on clothing, such as collars, cuffs, and hems, to enhance the fashion sense and uniqueness of clothing. It is particularly suitable for retro or marine-themed clothing. It can also be made into accessories such as belts and bows to enhance the overall look.
Home Decoration: It can be used to veneer furniture, such as wardrobes, desks, and coffee tables. By applying shell marble celluloid film, furniture can be imbued with a shell and marble-like texture, adding an elegant ambiance. It can also be used to decorate photo frames and mirror frames, imparting a unique texture and luster, making them exquisite home accessories.
Stationery: It can be used to create notebook covers, bookmarks, and other stationery, adding a beautiful and artistic touch to stationery, providing a unique user experience.
Crafts: It is an ideal material for crafting a variety of crafts, such as decorative ornaments and small sculptures. Through carving and polishing, it can create textures reminiscent of shells and marble, enhancing the artistic value and aesthetic appeal of the crafts.

Common celluloid products on the market include guitar picks, pens, and ping-pong balls. Below is a detailed introduction and price range:
Guitar picks: These are common celluloid products favored by many musicians for their excellent elasticity, wear resistance, and unique tone. Prices vary depending on brand, thickness, and package quantity. A typical domestic Alice-brand celluloid guitar pick typically costs between 1 and 50 rmb. Imported celluloid picks, such as Fender, typically cost around 30 to 50 rmb.
Fountain Pens: Celluloid pens, due to their unique appearance and texture, are often considered high-end stationery or collectibles. Some domestic celluloid pens are relatively affordable, such as the Yongsheng 322 Starry Sky Celluloid Pen, which costs approximately 17 rmb. The Japanese imported PLATINUM 3776 celluloid pen typically costs between 1,800 and 3,500 rmb. The Italian Montegrappa GNOMO dwarf celluloid fountain pen can cost nearly 3,000 rmb.
The performance differences between celluloid film and ordinary plastic film (taking PVC film as an example) primarily lie in their composition, physical properties, chemical stability, and safety. These differences are as follows:
1. Composition and Material Nature
Celluloid film: Made primarily from nitrocellulose (collodion), with the addition of plasticizers (such as camphor), it belongs to the nitrate plastic family and is one of the earliest synthetic plastics.
PVC film: Made primarily from polyvinyl chloride (PVC), it is a vinyl chloride polymer, with or without plasticizers (soft PVC).
2. Chemical Stability
Celluloid film: Sensitive to solvents, easily corroded by organic solvents such as alcohol and gasoline. Prolonged exposure to air can lead to degradation (becoming brittle and discoloring) due to the decomposition of nitrocellulose.
PVC film: Strongly chemically resistant, it tolerates most acids, bases, and organic solvents (except strong solvents such as ketones). However, prolonged contact with oils and fats may cause swelling. 3. Safety
Celluloid film: Highly flammable, burns rapidly when exposed to open flames or high temperatures (above 150°C), releasing toxic gases (such as nitrogen oxides). Aging can make it even less safe.
PVC film: Non-flammable (self-extinguishing), but can release toxic gases such as hydrogen chloride at high temperatures. Some plasticizers (such as phthalates) may be harmful to the human body.
Celluloid is a flammable material. Its main component, nitrocellulose, is inherently flammable. It burns quickly and easily when exposed to open flames or high temperatures (above 150°C), and may also release toxic gases.
Observe the following safety precautions during use and storage:
Keep away from sources of fire and heat: Avoid exposure to open flames, heaters, ovens, and other high-temperature sources, and protect from prolonged direct sunlight.
Control the storage environment: Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area. Avoid overcrowding and keep away from flammable materials (such as alcohol and gasoline).
Avoid mechanical friction: Celluloid products may produce sparks from friction or impact, so avoid violent collisions or crushing.
Prohibit unauthorized processing: Cutting, grinding, and other operations are not recommended (as frictional heat can cause combustion). Processing should be performed in a professional environment.
Dispose of aged products promptly: Aged and brittle celluloid products are more prone to breakage and flammability and should be properly disposed of promptly.
If softening, deformation, or an odor is observed during daily use, be aware of the safety risks and isolate them immediately.
