Bakellite
Explanation:
Bakelite is a thermosetting plastic. It is a thermosetting phenol formaldehyde resin, formed from a condensation reaction of phenol with formaldehyde.
Thermosetting Plastics are prepared from low molecular mass semi-fluid substances. Thermosetting plastic can withstand very high temperatures. During its curing process, the polymers link together to form a permanent chemical bond. They are poor conductors of heat and electricity and hence used in electric switches, sockets, plugs, etc.
