Answer:

Polyvinyl-chloride(PVC) is thermoplastic while Bakelite is thermosetting

Explanation:

Although PVC is considered as a thermoplastic polymer it does not catch fire easily due to presence of the chlorine in its structure

On the other hand Bakelite also known as Phenol-formaldehyde is considered as a thermosetting polymer which is heat resistant. It is used to make heat resistant parts of electric utensils.
