2) Teflon (PTFE) - The monomeric unit present is tetrafluoroethene (n F2C = CF2). Teflon is used as a material resistant to heat and chemical attack. It is also used for making gaskets, pump packings, valves, oil seals, non -lubricated bearings.
3) Bakelite - The monomeric unit present is formaldehyde (HCHO) and phenol (C6H5OH). Bakelite is used for making glue for binding laminated wooden planks and in varnishes, combs, fountain pens, electrical switches.
