WHAT IS GALALITH ?
Galalith is a semi synthetic materialmanufactured by the interaction of casein and formaldehyde.
In 1893, Frenchchemist Auguste Trillat discovered the means to insolubilize casein byimmersion in formaldehyde.
Casein is the name for a family of related proteinswhich are commonly found in mammalian milk , making up 80% of the proteins in cowmilk.
Galalith, sometimes called \"milk stone\", is thereforea semi synthetic material, opposed to Bakelite that is a totally 100 %synthetic.
Given a commercialname derived from the Greek words gala(milk) and lithos (stone),Galalith is particularly hard with a density of 1.35. It is odourless,insoluble in water, biodegradable, antiallergenic, antistatic and virtuallynonflammable . It is also resistant to acids and solvents.
