Name the plastic used for making non- stick pans:

  • A. PVC
  • B. Teflon
  • C. Bakelite
  • D. Melamine

Step-by-step solution

Teflon (polytetrafluoroethylene, PTFE) is a synthetic fluoropolymer with very low friction and non-stick properties, making it ideal for coating non-stick pans. PVC is used for pipes and insulation, Bakelite for electrical insulators, and melamine for laminates and dinnerware, none of which are used for non-stick cookware.
