Solution
Bakelite
Explanation:
Bakelite is a thermosetting plastic because once it is moulded into a shape, it cannot be softened or reshaped by heating. It is a poor conductor of heat and electricity, so it is commonly used in electrical switches and handles of utensils. PVC and PVA are thermoplastics, not thermosetting plastics.
