In the early part of the twentieth century, it was widely used for combs, hairbrush handles, harness decorations, washable col lars, and toys, but because of its flammability has since been replaced by less flammable plastics.Thesaurus| Noun | 1. |  celluloid - highly flammable substance made from cellulose nitrate and camphor; used in e.g. motion-picture and X-ray film; its use has decreased with the development of nonflammable thermoplasticsthermoplastic, thermoplastic resin - a material that softens when heated and hardens again when cooledcamphor - a resin obtained from the camphor tree; used in making celluloid and linimentcellulose nitrate, guncotton, nitrocellulose, nitrocotton - a nitric acid ester; used in lacquers and explosives | | 2. |  celluloid - a medium that disseminates moving pictures; "theater pieces transferred to celluloid"; "this story would be good cinema"; "film coverage of sporting events"cinema, filmcut-in, insert - (film) a still picture that is introduced and that interrupts the action of a filmartistic creation, artistic production, art - the creation of beautiful or significant things; "art does not need to be innovative to be good"; "I was never any good at art"; "he said that architecture is the art of wasting space beautifully"business enterprise, commercial enterprise, business - the activity of providing goods and services involving financial and commercial and industrial aspects; "computers are now widely used in business"MacGuffin, McGuffin - (film) a plot element that catches the viewers' attention or drives the plot; "the McGuffin was a key element of Alfred Hitchcock's films"medium - a means or instrumentality for storing or communicating informationsilver screen - the film industry | | Adj. | 1. | celluloid - artificial as if portrayed in a film; "a novel with flat celluloid characters"syntheticartificial, unreal - contrived by art rather than nature; "artificial flowers"; "artificial flavoring"; "an artificial diamond"; "artificial fibers"; "artificial sweeteners" |

Celluloid was the first important synthetic plastic and was widely used as a substitute for more expensive substances, such as ivory, amber, horn, and tortoiseshell. It is highly flammable and has been largely superseded by newer plastics with more desirable properties. It has been used for combs, brush handles, billiard balls, knife handles, buttons, and other useful objects.Celluloid a plastic based on cellulose nitrate (pyroxylin). It also contains a plasticizer (dibutyl phthalate, castor oil, petrolatum, or synthetic camphor) and a dye. Celluloid is processed by hot stamping, pressing, and mechanical working. It is used in the manufacture of various products, including plane-table boards, rulers, certain haberdashery goods, and toys. Because Celluloid is highly flammable, there has been a considerable reduction in its use. celluloidA relatively tough thermoplastic material made from plasticized cellulose nitrate with camphor; inflammable, easily molded, readily dyed, not light-stable.celluloid1. a flammable thermoplastic material consisting of cellulose nitrate mixed with a plasticizer, usually camphor: used in sheets, rods, and tubes for making a wide range of articles 2. a. a cellulose derivative used for coating film b. one of the transparent sheets on which the constituent drawings of an animated film are prepared c. a transparent sheet used as an overlay in artwork d. cinema film celluloid
