Correct answer
Thermo-setting plastic
Why this answer is correct
The Correct answer is Option 4.
Key Points
- Thermosetting plastics, such as melamine-formaldehyde resin, are used in making floor tiles. Hence, option 4 is correct.
- These materials harden irreversibly when heated, making them durable, heat-resistant, and scratch-proof, which are ideal properties for floor tiles.
- Melamine, combined with formaldehyde, forms a strong and rigid plastic, extensively used in construction and decorative applications.
