Plant labels that don't biodegrade

I am still using the ones I bought forty years ago! I simply need a few more. My Grandfather had a 'notepad' made of a plastic called Ivorine - mock ivory - that he had for 60 years. The company used to make plant labels and collar stiffeners. It shut down in 1995. It seems to have been casein protein polymerised with formaldehyde, and seems to have been more or less indestructible. The name is currently used for cellulose acetate used for repairing of piano keys and for veneer inlays. That's a different material. |
