==== Industrial ====
Peanuts have a variety of industrial end uses. Paint, varnish, lubricating oil, leather dressings, furniture polish, insecticides, and [[nitroglycerin]] are made from peanut oil. Soap is made from [[Saponification|saponified]] oil, and many cosmetics contain peanut oil and its derivatives. The protein portion is used in the manufacture of some textile fibers. Peanut shells are used in the manufacture of plastic, wallboard, abrasives, fuel, cellulose (used in [[rayon]] and paper), and [[mucilage]] (glue).
