Celluloid is a synthetic polymer made from cellulose nitrate, while cellophane is a thin, transparent film made from regenerated cellulose. The main difference lies in their chemical composition, with celluloid being more flammable and prone to deterioration over time compared to cellophane.
Celluloid is a flammable material used in the production of early photographic and film materials. It is highly unstable and prone to degradation over time, leading to discoloration and shrinkage. Due to its composition, celluloid can release toxic gases when burned.
Celluloid is a type of plastic material that was historically used in the production of items such as film stock, photographic film, and billiard balls. It was one of the first synthetic plastics and played a significant role in early photography and cinematography.
The chemical name for celluloid is nitrocellulose, which is a type of plastic made from cellulose treated with nitric acid and sulfuric acid. It was commonly used in the past for film and photographic films.

Ping pong balls are made of celluloid, a lightweight, flexible plastic. An American inventor, John Wesley Hyatt, discovered this material in the late 1860s after he experimented with a mixture of cellulose nitrate and camphor. Although it is a tough, inexpensive product, celluloid is also extremely flammable because of unstable properties. Originally Hyatt wanted to use celluloid to replace the pricey ivory in billiard balls, but he discovered this fiery danger when billiard balls made with celluloid exploded upon colliding. Celluloid was later used for a variety of products, including combs, collars, photography film, and toys, but it was slowly replaced by newer synthetic polymers. Today, celluloid is mainly used in the manufacture of ping pong balls, and because it is much lighter than other materials and has great tensile strength (causing the surface to remain stiff upon impact), it allows the balls to soar upon impact.
Celluloid is a man-made plastic comprised primarily of nitrocellulose and camphor.
