About: Hemacite

An Entity of Type: chemical compound, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Hemacite is a material made from sawdust and the blood of slaughtered cattle and pigs. It was invented and patented by Dr W H Dibble of New Jersey in the last quarter of the nineteenth century. Hydraulic pressure (280 MPa or 40,000 psi) and chemical compounds, blood and sawdust were transformed by Dibble's Hemacite Manufacturing Company into everything from doorknobs and roller skate wheels to cash register buttons and telephone receivers; there is even extensive use in Victorian jewellery. Hemacite was inexpensive but fell out of favor with the popularity of new plastics like Bakelite. It is quite easy to misidentify Hemacite as Bakelite.

dbo:abstract
  • El hemacite es un material hecho de serrín y la sangre de cerdos y ganadería proveniente de mataderos industriales. Fue inventado y patentado por el doctor de Nueva Jersey en el último cuarto del siglo XIX. Además de la sangre y serrín, se usaban prensas hidráulicas de hasta 275000 KPa junto con otros compuestos químicos para fabricar todo tipo de elementos, como pomos de puerta, ruedas de patín, botones de cajas registradoras y auriculares de teléfono. Se llegó a usar de forma extendida en la joyería victoriana. La hemacite era barata pero su uso menguó con la popularidad de los nuevos plásticos como la baquelita, con el cual es fácil de confundir.
