what was the first commercially successful Polymer

(1/1)

Jill:
What wsa the first commerically successful Polymer?  I found...Cellulase Nitrate but my choices are....

Polystyrene
PVC
Bakelite
Polyethylene

Would be Polyethylene the right choice?  Confused!  Any help would be appreciated.

Scratch-:
Cellulose nitrate was spun into the first artificial silk in 1884 but it was really flammable. I think the answer is Polyethylene
but I’m not sure.  ???

Corvettaholic:
I think its Polyethylene, but like scratch, not positive on that one. Maybe a google search will help?

Scratch-:
I found the info doing a search on "first commerically successful Polymer".

Jill:
I did another search and I think you are right too.  Thanks
