Correct answer
Explanation
(P) Poly methyl methacrylate (PMMA) is produced by the homopolymerisation of methyl methacrylate. PMMA is a transparent thermoplastic and used as a glass substitute.
(Q) Kydex is a line of thermoplastic acrylic-polyvinyl chloride materials manufactured by Kydex LLC. It has a wide variety of applications, including for firearm holsters and sheaths for knives.
(R) Polyvinyl acetate (PVAc) is made by polymerization of vinyl acetate. In a water suspension, this is used as a glue. Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is made by polymerization of the monomer vinyl chloride and is used in the formation of pipes.
Hence, only statement R is false.
