Made Flower
What is oasis that is used in flower arrangements made from?
I know it is a chemical that it is made from. Years ago I’d heard that it was made from some kind of battery acid by product. Anyone know?
Phenolics (PF) or (phenol formaldehydes)
high modulus, relatively heat resistant, and excellent fire resistant polymer. Used for insulating parts in electrical fixtures, paper laminated products (e.g. “Formica”), thermally insulation foams. It is a thermosetting plastic, with the familiar trade name Bakelite, that can be moulded by heat and pressure when mixed with a filler-like wood flour or can be cast in its unfilled liquid form or cast as foam, e.g. “Oasis”. Problems include the probability of mouldings naturally being dark colours (red, green, brown), and as thermoset difficult to recycle.
