Ebonite is one of the earliest forms of plastic. A hard, rigid and shiny resin, it was intended as an artificial substitute for ebony wood. It is actually a very hard rubber first obtained by Charles Goodyear by vulcanizing rubber for prolonged periods. As a result, it is about 30% to 40% sulfur.
Example Usage of Ebonite
Ebonite: Jumped on Pandora. Nice change of pace from Christmas. Too bad it drains the battery faster than the iPod.
