Some Common Plastics and their appearance.
Bakelite, phenol formaldehyde, is a proprietary name for a thermosetting invented by Mr Baekerland. It is invariably opaque and is only found in dark brown and black.
Melamine and urea formaldehyde are thermosetting resins usually formed by compression moulding. They are opaque and may be brightly coloured, including white.
Casein, manufactured from milk protein unsuitable for moulding usually machined or otherwise fabricated. Opaque but white translucent and any other colours possible.
