Why This SUBSTANCE Was BANNED Forever?

I thought the same thing, but I'm _pretty sure_ that it's the pink polymer at the middle of the video, which was mentioned to be used in dentistry, but had ceased being used due to formaldehyde being toxic...

Photo-activated polymerisation of polyacetylenes found in the sap of relatives of ginseng and ivy called _Chengiopanax sciadophylloides, Dendropanax trifidus_ and _Gamblea innovans_ was used in old Japan to produce a polymer resin coating on steel to protect armour from rust.

[@D-Vinko]

This finish you're referring to is actually still practiced, but is a lost art when it comes to the European version. In Japan, these trees are well known to be the source for the resin, and the obvious source for the process of Japanning. However European replications of this technique did not involve these trees (as far as is able to be determined from reviewing genuine examples of period made European style japanning), and is still lost to this day. I'm one of many people trying to recreate the European process specifically to reapply it to old tools, furniture, etc.

[@neillcoetzer9133]

The same reaction occurs in linseed oil and the things coated in it to protect it. If I'm not mistaken the double bonds in the unsaturated fatty acid chains undergo epoxide formation then from there they cross polymerize to form a *fairly* durable coating. It used to be used to protect wood and paintings (In fact if I'm not mistaken it was even used on the Mona Lisa for preservation (at the time) I've played around with it a bit myself and I must say that yeah it's very cool once it dries properly, made a waterproofing solution that I applied to my hat, hiking stick, and a pair of puttees that I wanted to try out.

(not to say that it couldn't perhaps over time, or if an entire pan's coating worth, the consumption couldn't somehow become stuck/accumulate and cause an inflammatory reaction that speaks out of control; same for inhaling it if burned or as dust, but that pretty much goes for _anything_ that's "safe" if you burn or instill it as a dust! lol)

Very interesting, thank you! As a collector of vintage fountain pens I'm very familiar with celluloid Parkesine, Catalan, etc. Beautiful coloring and effects are possible that can't be done with Bakelite, but yes it is extremely flammable stuff and highly reactive with even very mild solvents. It also has the disadvantage, especially the earlier celluloid formulations, of being quite unstable: off-gassing camphor causes celluloid items to become very brittle and crumble apart. It's a shame because eventually all the antique celluloid items will have crumbled apart to dust.

Fascinating subject, thanks for posting this

It is always nice to listen to your videos which are very educational and your speaking is enjoying and clear, very good work.

Does anyone know if it’s possible to get his merch here in the US? I was able to guess my way through his merch site until it asked me to pick what I assume was a country for shipping. I couldn’t find an obvious spot to change languages from Russian to either English or German.

[@sailorgreg1184]

Merch from Russia now? Have you seen the news lately? Because of their leader's genocide in Ukraine all civilised world generally embargoed everything russia. Even the payment systems from outside won't work.

This was a very enjoyable video.

So which is the substance banned...?

[@dandeeteeyem2170]

So many stunning demonstrations in this video! Well done man, fascinating! 👍

If you said bakelite, many Soviet weapons had bakelite furniture on them and it lasted pretty well. [Solo]

[@jason1440]

Many theaters catching fire from nitro cellulose burnt with frightening speed resulting in fatalities. They tried adopting codes without much success so banned the material altogether. Speacial storage and suppression is needed for archives of cellulose films.

[@naronaroyan323]

There is actually a movie made about how dangerous teflon is because it doesn’t break down in nature. And I think it gave censer to many people because it got mixed into their drinking water.

[@MichaelClark-uw7ex]

Fluorinated polymers are almost chemically inert unless you burn them. But the best non stick surface in the universe (that we know of) is diamond. That is why the crystallized carbon coating on a well seasoned cast iron pan is IMO superior to Teflon or any of the modern non stick polymer coatings..

Love your content & it's like spending time time with the real life Dexter's laboratory only I actually get to learn not to mention you don't have a sister named DD to come ruin everything lol

How do you dissolve and cast polyacrylate?

I can't be the only one who is surprised by his appearance. In the earlier videos, back before we saw him, I imagined someone who looked like Rasputin. But, a bit more scary, unkempt, and older. In reality he's a normal looking young-ish person. Voices are almost always deceiving. The subtitles, being auto-generated, are having a whole lotta trouble getting through the accent. In more than a few parts, the subs were pretty funny.

[@diGritz1]

Just a suggestion but, during the on lip sinking shots you should have a couple guys dressed up as kung fu masters in the background shout random threats like "You will pay for killing my master!" or "Now I shall have my revenge!". It would only make me love your channel more. And bouns.... think of all the subs from the cheesy Kung Fu 70's movies crowd. "0_o"

[@johngavin1175]

That would be funny. You ever watch the movie Kung Pow?

[@kenwaid8239]

Both were absolutely beautiful and well worth viewing.

Very informative and pleasently authentic presentation. I would be interested in the recyclability of common plastics. For example how to regain water out of the pampers-polymer.

I love that light where can I get one?

Downvote for not answering the question in the title of the video: "Why This SUBSTANCE Was Banned Forever?" What substance and why?
