acetate
Clear overlay sheet
Acetate refers to a salt or ester of acetic acid, the compound that gives vinegar its sour taste.
In everyday use, acetate usually means cellulose acetate—a plastic material used for film, eyeglass frames, and textile fibers: acetate fabric has a silky sheen.
Historically, acetate was the standard medium for audio recordings and motion pictures before newer technologies displaced it.
