Traditionally (in the vinyl era, at least) these were the very first copies of a recording to leave the studio, and were often only intended for the people directly involved in making the recording (such as the band, producer, engineer, et al ) or perhaps for record company executives to catch a preview of a work-in-progress Hence, their numbers are very few indeed, and they are highly sought-after by die-hard collectors, particularly when they contain rare alternate mixes of songs that were never released to the general public Of course, as the name would suggest, these discs are by definition pressed on acetate, not vinyl, and are thus easily recognizable, as an acetate will have a much different weight, texture, and thickness than a regular vinyl record, as well as a non-standard (sometimes handwritten) label
(1) The official name for the textile fiber produced from partially hydrolyzed cellulose acetate Formerly known as acetate rayon (2) A chemical compound (a salt of acetic acid)
A salt or ester of acetic acid of cellulose made into a synthetic filament, yarn, or fabric
A transparent or translucent plastic sheet material of a variety of colors, used as a basis for artwork and overlays
a clear plastic that can be stamped on or used as a window for shaker cards If you want to emboss on it make sure it is Thermo Acetate (overhead projector sheets made for laser printers work well)
(1) a plastic synthesized from acetic acid which exhibits rigidity, dimensional stability, and ink receptivity; made from cellulose acetate or its derivitives such as the clear plastic covering placed over artwork; (2) a family of solvents, also known as esters
A plastic synthesized from cellulose dissolved in acetic acid which exhibits rigidity, dimensional stability, and ink receptivity Transparent or matte finish available
An Acetate sheet is a high quality, clear/transparent sheet of plastic Acetate sheets are commonly used as a layer in multi-layer artwork Acetate is also used for "overhead" transparency printing (Also referred to as Mylar and clear layout base )
A transparent sheet usually used to print slides or for overhead projector transparencies; can also be used under 3-D objects to protect a scanner bed from being scratched
A salt or ester of acetic acid A synthetic fabric or yarn derived from the acetic ester of cellulose
A transparent film that is used for various reasons in tape backings; the primary characteristic is that of being more moisture resistant than cellophane
transparent plastic sheet with images, sometimes in layers or placed over artwork to protect and allow designer to write instructions
A transparent sheet placed over originals or artwork, allowing the designer to write instructions and\or indicate a second colour for placement
‑ A synthetic fiber used to make fabric with a silk‑like appearance which resist stretching and shrinking and are moderately absorbent
A high quality, transparent sheet of plastic commonly used as a layer in multi-layer artwork or composition Acetate is also used for overhead transparency printing
Acetate is a shiny artificial material, sometimes used for making clothes or records. C2H3O2^- ion, a salt, ester, or acylal derived from acetic acid. Acetates are important in the biochemical synthesis of fats from carbohydrates in plants and animals. Industrially, metal acetates are used in printing, vinyl acetate in plastic production, cellulose acetate in photographic films and textiles (one of the first synthetic fibres, often called simply acetate), and volatile organic esters as solvents
A salt formed by the union of acetic acid with a base or positive radical; as, acetate of lead, acetate of potash
{i} salt or ester of acetic acid (Chemistry); fabric made of acetate fibers; sheet of clear plastic film; phonographic disk made of or coated with acetate; fire-resistant material used as the base for film
A rubbery synthetic polymer prepared by polymerization of vinyl acetate, used as an adhesive for light materials such as paper, wood and cloth. Abbreviations: PVA, PVAc
A monomer (CH3COOCH=CH2) prepared by reacting ethylene and acetic acid with oxygen and a palladium catalyst. Abbreviations: VAM (vinyl acetate monomer), VyAc
An organic compound, CH, occurring in isomeric mixtures and used as a flavoring agent, as a paint and lacquer solvent, and in the preparation of penicillin. Also called banana oil
Any of several compounds obtained by treating cellulose with acetic anhydride, used in lacquers, photographic film, transparent sheeting, and cigarette filters
One of the more commonly found esters in beer, which in small amounts gives many ales a subtle fruity character If present in excessive amounts, will result in unpleasant, solventy flavors
A sweet, vinegary smell that often accompanies acetic acid It exists to some extent in all wines and in small doses can be a plus When it is strong and smells like nail polish, it's a defect
