Bakelite The first plastic made from synthetic co Bakelite

The first plastic made from synthetic components, it was developed by Leo Baekeland in Yonkers, New York in 1907, and patented on December 7, 1909. The creation of a synthetic plastic was revolutionary for the chemical industry, which at the time made most of its income from cloth dyes and explosives.

Bakelite's commercial success inspired the industry to develop other synthetic plastics. By 1910, Baekeland was producing enough material in the US to justify expansion. The General Bakelite Company of Perth Amboy, NJ as a U.S was formed. Tasked with the manufacturing and market his new industrial material. Bakelite even made overseas connections to produce in other countries. Bakelite continued to be a popular household material until the early 1950s when it began to be phased out by other petroleum-based types of plastics. #shoplocal #downtownporthope #shopsustainable #vintage #antique #vintage #bakelite
