Why does a film badge have a plastic case and not a metal case?

The film has a dried silver emulsion on it which can be scratched and scraped if exposed to everyday handling. The plastic case is just there to hold the film in place and protect it from being scratched. The emulsion is on the reverse side, closest to your body, so nothing can touch it while it's in the case.

The same material (called viscose) that forms cellophane is the base for the "semi-synthetic" polyester fiber known as rayon.


What is clear plastic wrap made of?

AnswePlastic wrap is a form of food packaging consisting of a thin film of flexible, transparent polymer that clings to itself and to food containers to form a tight seal. The plastic keeps the food fresh by protecting it from air and by preventing dry foods from absorbing moisture and wet foods from losing moisture. It also seals in odors to prevent them from spreading to other foods stored nearby. Plastics are artificial polymers; that is, they consist of gigantic molecules formed by combining thousands of small molecules of the same kind into a long chain. These small molecules are known as monomers, and the process of combining them is known as polymerization. Natural polymers include such familiar substances as silk, rubber, and cotton.Read more: How plastic wrap is made - material, manufacture, making, used, processing, components, product, Raw Materials, The Manufacturing Process of plastic wrap, Quality Control http://www.madehow.com/Volume-2/Plastic-Wrap.html#ixzz135vMwlnPr:

How do you remove sticky protective film from polycarbonate panels?

I machined some polycarbonate (Lexan) sheets that dated from 2005 and the white plastic protective film had become very brittle and virtually impossible to remove. Not wanting to do the work again, I tried a few ways to remove the film. A plastic scraper seemed the only way until I heated the film with a domestic hair-drier set to hot. The protective film was softened enough to become very pliable and it came away from the polycarbonate sheet with only a gentle continuous pull, taking care not to disrupt the film as is was released from the sheet. Any marks left by the plastic scraper where the film had to be 'started' were removed with acetone (nail polish remover); polycarbonate is impervious to acetone. Check your sheet is polycarbonate before using any solvent (check some waste or inconspicuous part of the sheet beforehand). Hope this works - it did for me.
