Plasticine
Plasticine, a brand of modelling clay, is a putty-like modelling material made from calcium salts, petroleum jelly and aliphatic acids. The name is trademarked but tends to be used as a generic description in Britain and the Commonwealth, in Chile, Uruguay, Portugal and Brazil as plasticina in many countries of Latin America and Spain as plastilina, in Lithuania as plastelinas, in Estonia plasteliin, in Bulgaria plastilin, but pronounced most of times in the spoken language as plastelin, and Albania as plastelin. In the United States the term modelling clay is much more widely used and, although the Plasticine brand is available, it is not well known.
