Formica (plastic)

Formica® is a brand of plastic laminates containing melamine resin. It is particularly used for kitchen surfaces, as it is heat-resistant and wipe-clean.

Invented in 1912 by Daniel J O'Conor and Herbert A. Faber, Formica® is a laminate of paper or fabric, manufactured by impregnating the fabric with an adhesive resin at high pressure.
