Since Americans will spend over $4 billion on toys this year, the leading toy manufacturers are do­ ing their utmost to assure that consumers receive good value for their money. One method of produc­ ing better quality toys is to select better quality materials and the nation's toy-makers are constantly upgrading their materials, especially in the area of plastics. Among the most rugged thermoplastic materials are Tenite cellulosics, sup­ plied by Eastman Chemi­ cal Products, Inc. Featur­ ing high impact strength, outstanding clarity and excellent colorability, Ten­ ite cellulosics include ace­ tate, butyrate and propio­ nate.

The com­ plete housing of the "Roly Poly Chime Ball," for ex­ ample contains two types of Tenite butyrate -- the clear version and a blue- colored variety. Clarity and toughness were prime requisites in choosing materials for the Chime ball. The dome had to be clear so that the toddlers can view the tiny animal figures activated by rolling the ball. At the same time, the dome had to be especially durable to withstand constant drop­ ping and other rough treatment. Following ex­ tensive testing, Fisher- Price determined that Tenite butyrate in clear and color formulations measured up to its strin­ gent specifications. Today rugged cellulosics can be found in several other best-selling Fisher- Price toys, including the Corn Popper, the Rattle Ball and the Music Box Clock-Radio. These mate­ rials offer a unique combi­ nation of durability and clarity that stand up ex­ ceptionally well to rugged treatment from the most active and determined pre-school tots.
